Group C: January 14, 2011,
Croatia – Romania 27:21 (11:13)
The Silver Medalist of the WCh 2009 had enormous problems in the first 35 minutes to stand the pressure of Romania and occurred too many mistakes. So surprisingly the Romanians, which had eliminated Russia in the qualification, led 13:11 at the break. A lot of misplaced Croatian passes and Romanian counter attack goals paved the way to this result. But coach Slavko Goluza found the right words in the dressing room, as his team improved totally. First the Croats equalized at the 14:14, then they took the lead and didn’t give it from their hands until the end. Led by Balic, Strlek and Lackovic they decided the game at the score of 26:20 in minute 54, as Romania only scored seven goals in 25 minutes – a signal for the extremely strong Croatian defense and the high number of mistakes on the Romanian side.
