An excellent game from Græntfjall's Goðmundur Jürgennsson, who led in both goals (5) and assists (4), saw the Bouncy Wolves safely past Eud Mirabilis and gives the team a strong chance of progressing to the second round of the Handball World Cup. Playing in Eud Mirabilis, the Bouncy Wolves led by at least 3 through much of the first half of a match in which they enjoyed a strong height advantage over their opponents, but were forced to weather a late rally as the nimble Gal Jesmann exploited some poor defense by Emmanuel Achola, who looked slow footed and will miss the remainder of the group stage injured.
