Fought well but won nothing. The handball foxes fly out of the cup, lose 32:34 (14:16) in Flensburg.
Mathias Gidsel (thumb) and Lasse Andersson (foot) are missing as expected. But the surprise – Fabian Wiede (28) plays despite a torn ligament. But the national player is unlucky again, falls on his left hip (10th), hobbles through the game.
Due to an unnecessary 4-minute penalty (two in a row) for Milos Vujovic, the foxes lose their rhythm and are 15:20 (35th) behind.
The Berliners are fighting back to 31:32 (58th), but in the end the foxes throw themselves out of the cup. Because 15 misses are just too many.
