RK Krim Mercator’s national players lead to victory against Örebro SK

RK Krim Mercator continues to impress during the group stage of the Partille World Cup. The Slovenian team, filled with national team players, won their third match of the early group stage against Örebro SK Handboll this morning.

One of the tournament’s most talked-about teams beforehand, the two-time Champions League winners RK Krim Mercator, faced Örebro SK in an early group stage final this morning. And why they have been one of the hot topics became clear at Heden 10.

The Slovenian academy team, with eight youth national team players on the field (two more at home), was dominant throughout the match. Krim Mercator defended solidly and played with remarkable composure. Whenever the ball was in their possession, their play was seamless.

Örebro, who had won both of their Tuesday matches, fought hard, but the Slovenians were sharper and a team that all others in the tournament will need to watch out for. The final score ended 6–24.
