This meeting could hardly have changed anything for both rivals, as it was clear before the game that Sweden would finish top of Group C and start the main round with four points, while Uruguay would have to move to the President's Cup.
And the European team demonstrated their superiority, beating their opponents by as many as 35 goals, which is the biggest win of the competition.

In the first quarterfinal played at the Cairo Sports Indoor Sports Complex, Denmark defeated Egypt 39-38 after a penalty shootout. Egypt was in the ascendancy for the early part of the match and it was only in the 18
th minute when Danes took the lead. The halftime score was 16-13 in Favor of Denmark. The Danes maintained a lead in most of the second half but Egypt was resilient and the second half ended 28-28.
There was more drama in extra time. Danes looked to win at the end of the first extra time but right at the end Denmark’s Mikkel Hansen was sent off for time wasting and A final 7m throw converted by Sanad gave the Egyptians the draw that took them to the second two periods.
