From the dream of the European Cup! The handball foxes lose the round of 16 in front of 5218 fans in the Schmeling Hall against Nantes 30:33 (15:14).

The game is a copy of the first leg, neither team can break away. The foxes lack target water, 17 missed goal chances are just too many. More than two goals (12:10 / 26.) The Berliners can not get away in the 1st half. The French even lead twice by three goals.
