Another scoring victory belonged to Angola, who beat Kazakhstan 38-20. Carlos Viver's students had an excellent start to the game in Trier, Germany. The Africans scored 21 goals in the first half alone, more than their opponents would score in the entire match.

In the second half, Angola did not push as much, preferring to conserve their energy for the clashes with South Korea and Norway. The final score was 38-20, so a difference of 18 goals.

Angola had 13 scorers, 5 of them with at least 4 goals. They are Bernardeth Belo (5 goals), Vilma Nenganga (4), Afonsa Nunda (4), Helena Paulo (4) and Albertina Kassoma (4). Therefore, a successful start for Kassoma, the CS Rapid Bucharest handball player, who scored 16 goals in the current edition of the EHF European League.

In the other Group H match, Norway beat South Korea 34-19. Therefore, at the moment, Angola is the leader, having a better goal difference than the force of world handball.

The national team coached by Carlos Viver, Gloria Bistrita's technician, has the chance to maintain the first position until December 1, when the direct duel with Norway will take place. What is certain is that Angola will be in the main stage of the World Championship and will have high morale, which will allow them to hope for a qualification in the quarter-finals of the competition.
