Erice women’s handball close to the knockout stages against Lithuania

Seven-goal advantage and free entry for fans at the Pino Cardella arena, for Handball Erice, who tomorrow at 6 pm will be seeking passage to the round of 16 of the EHF European Cup, against Lithuania’s Cascada Garliava. After the 31-24 away win in the first leg, there is cautious optimism in the Arpie locker room, waiting for a big crowd to push them forward in Europe.

“We have worked this week – assures Martina Iacovello, Handball Erice goalkeeper – thinking only about winning this match as well. Against a well-structured team with a good game, despite making many mistakes, we managed to close the first leg with a good advantage. We need to be more focused for the full sixty minutes and avoid blackouts like the one in Lithuania. We must absolutely not underestimate our opponents.”
