Handball: Slovenia draw Germany after bizarre turn of events

Zagreb, 15 January - Slovenia tied Germany 25:25 at its second fixture of the 2018 Eurohandball in Zagreb. After dominating most of the match and finishing one goal ahead of the favoured team after 60 minutes, the referees awarded a questionable penalty to Germany, which gladly took up on the opportunity.
