Spain get off to winning start
Viran Morros and Rodrigo Corrales both contributed to Spain's win over Latvia (33-22).
The reigning European champions were up against the Latvia side of future Parisian Dainis Kristopans (seven goals) last night in Trondheim, Norway.
Despite a tricky start to the game that saw them 3-0 down after seven minutes, Spain made up for lost ground, thanks in particular to Rodrigo Corrales' strong first-half showing (33% save rate), before making the break for the first time just before half-time (14-11).
In the second half, the Spanish managed to keep their lead, relying also on an iron defence that shut the Latvians out for 10 minutes.
It was a comfortable win, with Viran Morros even managing to score his first goal of the competition.
