Croatia’s senior women’s handball team suffered a second straight defeat at the 2025 World Championship, falling 24:35 to Denmark in Group A at Rotterdam.
Croatia led briefly early on thanks to Lucija Bešen’s saves, tying 5:5 at the 13th minute before Denmark’s 4-0 surge built a halftime lead of 16:10. Dejana Milosavljević topped Croatia with 5 goals; Denmark’s Andrea Aagot Hansen, Elma Halilčević, and Julie Scaglione each scored 6 in the rout. Croatia stayed competitive at times but faltered amid 10 minutes in exclusions versus Denmark’s 6.
Penalties: Croatia 4/5, Denmark 4/4. The loss leaves Croatia winless after two matches, while Denmark tops Group A with 4 points; Romania also won 31:27 over Japan.
Croatia faces Japan on Monday at 18:00 for main round hopes—the loser drops to President’s Cup.
