Chinese Taipei under 17 has become the champion of the world in a very crowded sports hall by beating the favorite team of The Netherlands. After a 11-10 halftime score and 20-16 down, Chinese Taipei came back to 21-21 and scored in the last minutes the well deserved 22-24!
So after an unbeaten record of 13 consecutive World Championships The Netherlands have been defeated by Chinese Taipei!
The Netherlands regained the title in a convincing match. Especially in the first half, the passing and ball lines were well protected, which led to a 9-3 halftime score. After the break, the Netherlands continued where they left off and were able to maintain the defensive pressure, even using all the substitutions. Due to the defensive pressure, the excellent leading referees rightly awarded Chinese Taipei with some penalties, but due to the varied attacking play of the Netherlands, the final score was 25-16 and they rightly became world champions!
