The THSV Eisenach puts a start of the season to measure and has East Rival SC DHfK Leipzig flash again. The Thuringians inspire in front of a home crowd, the Saxons, on the other hand, are still missing a lot.
The SC DHfK Leipzig remains the favorite opponent of THSV Eisenach. The Thuringian defeated the opponents from the Saxon exhibition city on the 1st matchday of the 2025/26 HBL season with 31:27 (16:11).
For the fifth time in series, the green-whites at Underdog from Eisenach are biting their teeth. “A huge core to the audience, they helped the team extremely, very cool,” cheered Trainer Sebastian Hinze Afterwards in the SPIO interview, which celebrated a perfect debut on the THSV bank in the sold-out, thunderous Werner-Assmann-Halle.
The players of the THSV Eisenach also left their heart on the record at the start of the new season and were rewarded with the next derby victory.
8: 1 run of the THSV laid the foundation stone
The hosts got better on the record, were 4: 1 front (6th) before Leipzig found the game thanks to the double outnumber. Captain Lukas Binder-with four goals the only DHFK constant in the first round-ensured that the guest tour (12./5:6). However, the Thuringians responded to 13: 7 (23rd) with an 8: 1 run. “We carried this heavy backpack all over the game,” said Raul Alonso After his Bundesliga premiere as a Leipzig coach. The previous DHFK player Stephan Seitz directed Klug for Eisenach, captain Peter Walz rummaged tirelessly on the district and Gian Attenhofer and Vincent Büchner remained accurate from the outside.
In contrast, little or nothing went together in the green-whites. Newcomer to players Ahmed Cairy And Franz Semper were not a factor for a long time. This is also why the Saxons only scored eight goals in the first round, the hit rate of only 47 percent (11/23) spoke volumes.
DHFK back area Franz Semper (here at the throw) found only a few gaps in the aggressive Eisenacher cover.
Eisenach always has an answer ready
After the change of sides, it got a little better for the Alonso team because Semper took at least in phases and above all Blær Hinriksson ran hot. But even the eight hits of the international signed from Iceland should not be enough to really get Eisenach into trouble.
When Leipzig began to hope at least something (20: 17/42.), Max Beneke (four goals) as well as Felix Aellen and Fynn Hangstein (five goals each) found the right answer again and again. “We tried 60 minutes to offer our best level,” emphasized Raul Alonso, added: “It was crucial that we did not solve the simple things well. We did not manage to bring depth into play, went into the cross too early. It was different in preparation.”
