The Egyptian men's handball team have booked their place in the quarterfinals of Tokyo 2020 Olympic games after beating Sweden 27/22 in the 4th matchday of Group B Games. The Pharaohs dominated their foes in the first half, going to the locker room with a comfortable 13/9 lead thanks to the great saves of the Egyptian goalie Karim Hendawy and superb attack of the frontline players. In the second half, the Egyptian players continued their superb show and finished the game with 27/22 victory over the World Championship runners-up. Veteran keeper Karim Hendawy was Egypt's best performer with 17 saves so he was named the man of the match.
