The previously undefeated Portuguese team, which in the main round had beaten Spain (38-37), was unable to repeat its performance and lost the only game it couldn’t lose.

Spain, who equal Denmark with four trophies in the ranking of countries with the most titles, was superior in offensive actions and made fewer mistakes, and led the scoreboard from the beginning, in which Portugal only managed to balance in the opening 15 minutes.

The Spanish team 'shot' to a seven-goal lead at half-time (20-13), which they managed and increased to eight, at 22-14, and nine, at 30-21, without Portugal being able to counter their more aggressive game.

In the third and fourth place game, Denmark beat Germany, 26-23, and won the bronze medal.
