EHF Under20 Championship - European Hattrick Federation

8.7.2018 Liechtenstein have done it in front of their fans!

Two weeks the final of the 5th EHF Under 20 Championship in Liechtenstein was played and surprisingly or not it was between the hosts Liechtenstein and Luxembourg.

The hosts went into the game as favourites having the home advantage, but Luxembourg had their hopes too. The match started well for Liechtenstein with Rico Hasler netting the opener after 11 minutes. Their celebrations lasted only 4 minutes when Robi Erpelding equalized. The first half finished like this after the Liechtenstein missed on two occasions, Matt in the 20th and Wohlwend in the 37th minutes.

In the second half Liechtenstein came out of the dressing rooms to get that goal which could be the difference between both teams after they were having more posession in the first half. Both teams introduced some fresh leggs in midfield and Heimo Matt missed the target with a header in the 77th minute.

It looked like the game will finish as a draw but Rico Hasler left it late when he scored a quick fire double in the 80th and 81st minutes to complete his hattrick and to bring the European title to Liechtenstein. The match ended 3-1 for the hosts and the whole stadium was celebrating their first international title.

In a match for the 3rd place Hungary have beaten Serbia 4-1 and got the Bronze.
