2021 Women’s European U15 Championships, Szentes

Quarterfinals

Favorites recorded convincing wins in the quarterfinals. As expected, the duel between Italy, which won 2nd place in Group A, and Greece (3rd in Group B) was the most exciting match of the day. At halftime, the Greeks led 6:3. By the middle of the third period, they stretched the margin to five (8:3) and Italy didn’t manage to come back.

Semifinals

Hungary beat Greece (11:5) to pass the final hurdle to the final, while the other semifinal encounter offered more excitement. The match between Spain, which won the title at the 2019 European U15 Championship, and Russia was an even contest. Three minutes before the end, the score was 8:8.

Final day

The final match Russia – Hungary was a replay of the derby of Group B. Hungary achieved a comfortable victory in the group phase (15:8), but the final match had a different storyline. Russia took an early 2:0 lead. The hosts leveled at 2:2, but Russia went into the second half with a slim 3:2 advantage. Russia managed to rebuild a 2-goal advantage in the third period (4:2, 5:3). The Hungarians produced a great comeback with three goals in a row in the last 106 seconds of the quarter for a 6:5 lead.

Three minutes before the end, the Hungarians doubled their advantage (7:5). The Russians halved the distance a minute later, but the hosts kept the minimal lead and won the gold medal.

Spain and Greece were in a neck and neck race throughout the first half of the bronze-medal match. At the middle break, it stood 5:5. The Spaniards tightened their defense in the second half and recorded a 9:6 victory.
