Slovenia controlled the match right from the start and converted their 15-8 halftime lead into a 31-23 victory.

Despite missing out on Wednesday's quarterfinals, they have improved their chances of reaching the qualifying tournament for the next Olympics.

Denmark are the 2-time defending champions, having won the title in 2019 and 2021.
