The arena in Warsaw didn't just hold its breath; it exploded. Serbia, the Orlovi, arrived at the World Championship with a singular mission, and they delivered it with surgical precision. First, they dismantled Madagascar. Then, they turned their sights on the giants, the reigning world champions, Spain. The result? A stunning 16-12 victory that sends shockwaves through the handball world.

Top of the Table

This wasn't just a win; it was a statement. By defeating the favorite, Serbia has seized sole possession of the top spot in Group A. Two matches played, two victories secured. The hierarchy has been rewritten. Behind the Orlovi, the rest of the group—Spain, Austria, Madagascar, and Australia—must now look up and wonder if they can catch the Serbian pace. The pressure has officially shifted.

Individual Brilliance

Who carried the torch? Strahinja Stojačić was the undisputed engine of this triumph, exploding for a match-high nine points. His performance was a masterclass in intensity and technical skill. Nerandžić, who had been the star against Madagascar, contributed four crucial points, while Andreja Milutinović added three to the tally. Barać stayed clean on the scoring sheet, but his defensive presence was felt. On the Spanish side, Carlos Martinez led the charge with five points, followed by Orekoeća with four and Blas with three. It wasn't enough. The world champions were humbled, and Serbia is standing tall.
