Morocco Edges Algeria 28-27 in Thrilling World Handball Championship Match
The Atlas Lions managed to win their first victory in the World Handball Championship, which is being held in Sweden and Poland. This Saturday, January 21, they beat the Algerian team in a suspenseful match, which ended with a score of 28 to 27. This victory is all the more remarkable as it comes after four consecutive defeats.
