The Füchse Berlin are still at the top of the handball Bundesliga. Magdeburg remains in the chasing role – with better chances of winning the championship.
In the fight for the title in the handball Bundesliga, the Füchse Berlin and SC Magdeburg fulfilled their mandatory tasks. The capital club won against a strong HSG Wetzlar 32:30 (17:16) and only with difficulty defended its lead in the table from the Elbe city team.
Coach Bennet Wiegert’s Magdeburg team had no problems at all with a 35:25 (22:13) win over ThSV Eisenach. “We did well in defense, we had good opportunities to exploit,” said SCM player Tim Hornke on the Dyn microphone. Although his team remains in the chasing role, it has a better chance of winning the championship. The Champions League winner only has 46:6 points compared to the Foxes (47:7), but has one less game in their account.
Hard-fought victory for the Foxes
While Magdeburg confirmed its role as favorite right from the throw-off and temporarily overwhelmed the Thuringians, the Berliners had an extremely difficult time. Wetzlar played above their level and constantly kept up with the home team’s high tempo. Only when the capital city team suddenly found themselves two goals behind did they turn up the heat and celebrate a hard-fought victory.
The day before, SG Flensburg-Handewitt had consolidated their third place in the table with a 31:28 win against TSV Hannover-Burgdorf. The team around national player Johannes Golla can still hope for the Champions League. It was the first Bundesliga defeat of the year for Lower Saxony.
