The MT Melsungen handball players have no chance against what is probably the best team in the world. SC Magdeburg is several sizes too big for North Hesse.
That was clear! The first division handball players from MT Melsungen lost their home game against SC Magdeburg on Saturday evening. The North Hessians conceded against the reigning Champions League winners and current Bundesliga leaderswhich is seen by many experts as the best team in the world, a clear 23:34 (11:15) defeat – the biggest MT defeat of the season.
The Melsungers played a fairly decent game in front of their own crowd in the first half, but after the break they quickly lost ground. Especially in attack, the hosts missed far too many attempts and struggled against the good Magdeburg defense. For Melsungen, Dainis Kristopans was the most successful thrower with five goals. Swedish backcourt player Felix Claar stood out for Magdeburg with eleven goals. Melsungen’s often strong keeper Nebojsa Simic wasn’t a big factor this time with seven saves.
