ByThe Mwebantu Team

The Handball World Cup started on Tuesday with disappointing results for two African representatives. Tunisia lost to Italy (25-32) while Algeria has undergone a heavy defeat against Denmark (22-47).

The Tunisians, third of the last CAN, nevertheless started their match. But after 15 minutes, the Italians, back in competition after 28 years of absence, took control. At the break, Tunisia was led 11-17. In the second half, the eagles failed to reverse the trend, multiplying defensive errors and offensive ineffectiveness.

Algeria, on the other hand, has experienced a nightmarish lice with the heaviest defeat in its history in the World Cup. The two teams will have the opportunity to catch up tomorrow. Tunisia will find Denmark, while Algeria will try to relaunch itself against Italy.
