Summary: Denmark through, as France and Croatia win

The third main round matches in Budapest on Monday night could decide several teams' fate - but Denmark are in pole position for a semi-final ticket.

This is our third semi-final in the last year, and this is new for us. It’s great, it means that we can stay at the top and play very well in the long term.

Montenegro are forcing us to take them very seriously as semi-final contenders, with a great performance so far and a manageable deficit at half-time. If Montenegro can cause an upset and take the win here it would place them in a favourable position ahead of the last main round day in Budapest, leaving the race for the remaining semi-final ticket from the group very open indeed. With Nebojsa Simic in the form he’s in — yet again a huge show from the keeper here tonight — the door to Montenegro’s first semi-final appearance in any championship looks to be ajar.

A tough 30 minutes for the Netherlands, as Denmark completely control the game and go to the break with a score line that suggests they could be on their way to their biggest ever EHF EURO win. The Scandinavian side’s record is currently a 34:20 result against Switzerland in 2004. At this point, it looks as though the world champions are going to be the first to celebrate a semi-final berth and in style — with a decisive victory.

How can you keep up with a team which has a goalkeeper stopping more than half the shots he has taken? Clearly, Croatia are in trouble at the moment, as Viktor Hallgrímsson delivered yet another masterclass during the first half. For now, Iceland are clearly controlling the game, thanks to their defensive performance, but with only two goals separating the two sides at half-time, everything remains open ahead of the second half.
