LONDON, Aug 5 (Reuters) – Brazil will face reigning Olympic
women’s handball champions Norway in the quarter-finals after
finishing top of Group A on Sunday having survived a late rally
to beat Angola 29-26.
Norway, who are also world and European champions, rounded
off a lacklustre group stage campaign by suffering a 25-20 loss
to Spain in the penultimate qualifying encounter of the Games.
Group B winners France, still unbeaten, will play debutants
Montenegro in the last eight while Beijing runners-up Russia
face 2008 bronze medallists South Korea and Spain meet Croatia.
The quarter-finals will be contested on Tuesday.
