Croatia advanced to the next stage of the World Youth Beach Handball Championships as they won 2-0 set against the Brazilians in a Group 1 match.

Croatia managed to take the lead in the first set from the start, which they maintained until the end.
In the second set, the Brazilian team appeared better and was close throughout. In fact, they would have had a chance to win the set or even send the match to the shoot out, but with 8 seconds to go and while they had possession, a bad pass was enough to deprive them of a win or a draw in the set. Although it was a difficult match, Croatia managed to qualify for the next round.
