It is a huge night for Lithuanian handball, despite losing by five to Portugal they have booked their ticket for the first time since 1998 to an EHF EURO tournament, well done!
19:38
RESULTS
And the rest is now also official: congrats to Austria, Montenegro, Bosnia Herzegovina, Poland, Lithuania and the Ukraine on picking up the last six tickets to the EHF EURO 2022 in Hungary & Slovakia!
19:32
As the results start to trickle in, we can start to assign some tickets, congrats to Austria! They have picked themselves up a spot with their 27:23 win over Bosnia Herzegovina
19:21
Currently, it looks like the six tickets will go to Austria, Montenegro, and the four third-ranked would be Poland, Bosnia Herzegovina, Lithuania and most likely Ukraine (with Switzerland still having a chance if they still manage to pick up at least a point). But all of this can still change, stay tuned!
19:13
What a crazy angle! Andrei Yurynok showing us he can sink a shot from zero-angle! Belarus of course have their ticket already while Latvia would need a massive win to progress and being behind by three (24:21) it isn't looking likely.
19:10
Romania are now looking like they will need a lot more of this (see below). They were keeping up with Montenegro but have now falling back by two-goals... 14:12 with 42 minutes gone.
18:55

18:33
Montenegro vs Romania is the group 8 big crunch game and you can feel the nerves radiating from the screen.
And it is Montenegro who are looking like taking that spot, they are 9:7 up in a nervy encounter; Marko Lasica (4/5) for the hosts has been best. While Romania have been spreading the scoring around...
18:24
In group 4 we see Portugal (already through) and Lithuania locked in a real battle (8:8, 23 minutes gone). Lithuania, with eyes on a ticket via a solid third-place finish, are looking for a point or two from Portugal and two men are really stepping up: Virbauskas (4/5) and Drabavicius (3/3)
Also in that group Israel need a win in Iceland and it is not looking good with Iceland having a 16:10 (21 minutes gone).
18:20
Austria will be delighted with the start to their tie, it is 15 minutes gone and the hosts find themselves four goals up (8:4). Austria need a win, and Rober Weber (2/2) and Lukas Hutecek (2/3) have been brightest for the red and white. Check out Lukas in action below...
18:12
We are 13 minutes into the Netherlands vs Poland (8:8) and both sides are firing all on cylinders in the opening minutes. Steins and Smits looking best for the Dutch with both men on 2/2 while Poland are looking to T. & M. Gebala with five goals between them!
Remember: the Netherlands, of course, came into today's match with a EURO ticket, but Poland can still join them. If they beat Netherlands Poles can go to the second or even the first spot. If they do not win, they finish third with either three or two points and a very promising goal difference.

17:56
Just minutes away from Austria vs Bosnia and Herzegovina, each on four points. Don't forget Bosnia won the reverse fixture 27:21 and will qualify as the second-ranked team if they get at least a draw.
If Bosnia lose, they will have two points for the ranking of third-place teams. But it looks like a must-win for Austria as if lose, they will unlikely be able to finish among the four best third-ranked teams.
17:30
We are just thirty minutes away from the throw-off of all 15 matches. Strap yourself in as it will be a wild evening, we will do our best to keep you updated on the status each team looking for those final few tickets to Hungary and Slovakia.
