Croatia (AP) — Germany's title defense ended when it lost to Denmark 27-25 and Poland snatched a last-seconds win over Norway at the handball world championship on Tuesday.
Denmark and Poland completed the lineup for the semifinals, in which, on Friday, Poland will play Croatia, and Denmark will meet France.
Even after Germany lost to the Danes for the latter to advance, the champs could still have made the last four if Poland drew its last Group II match.
The Poles and Norway were 30-30 with 20 seconds to go when Norway released the goalman and introduced another player to focus on scoring. But seven seconds from the end, Poland's Artur Siodmiak captured a ball from Norway in front of his own net and threw it from there straight into Norway's empty goal for a 31-30 victory.
"With a huge deal of luck, we made an unbelievable breakthrough," Poland coach Bogdan Wenta said.
When it seemed that Norway would win, "some of my players on the bench were already crying and then ... a miracle happened," Wenta added.
