Handball Bundesliga team SG Flensburg-Handewitt did its part on Thursday evening by beating ThSV Eisenach 36:31 (21:18), but its chances of qualifying for the Champions League are gone. Second-placed Füchse Berlin then won at MT Melsungen.
This means that the Flensburg team has before their last game of the season in Berlin on Sunday (3 p.m./Live stream at sportschau.de) two points and 65 goals behind the capital city team. This cannot be made up for even in a direct comparison. The SG will therefore also play in the European League next season. Very few people from Flensburg had probably expected a Berlin defeat at the MT because of the crude constellation.
It was still celebratory in the Flensburg Arena. After the game, the four players who will be leaving the club in the summer were bid farewell: captain Johannes Golla, who is returning to MT Melsungen, goalkeeper Kevin Möller (GOG) as well as Lukas Jörgensen (Veszprem), who is suffering from a torn cruciate ligament, and Adin Faljić (future unknown).
Gottfridsson sees strong Flensburg Grgic
National player Marko Grgic got off to a strong start in the duel with his former club Eisenach. When it was 5:5 after six minutes, he already had three goals in his personal statistics. Two people who will be leaving the club gave the SG their first two-goal lead. After a save, goalkeeper Kevin Möller passed to Golla, who was already sprinting away, and the man with the head bandage that he got in the semi-final of the European League against MT Melsungen threw into the empty goal to make it 13:11 (19th).
Shortly afterwards, shouts of “Gottfridsson!” echoed through the arena – the Flensburg fans greeted their former playmaker Jim Gottfridsson, who was watching the game at his former place of work. At the beginning of April, the Hungarian club Pick Szeged announced the termination of the contract with the 33-year-old Swede.
Red card for Eisenacher Walz
Towards the end of the first half, the SG fans were upset about a far too rustic defensive action by Eisenacher Peter Walz. He hit Flensburg’s Lasse Möller in the face with his elbow during his jump shot – the red card was logical (28th). At the break the SG led with 21:18.
A quarter of an hour before the final siren it was a four-goal lead. Left winger Emil Jakobsen scored with a counterattack to make it 28:24 – it was his seventh goal in seven throws. But the outstanding Flensburg man was another Dane: Simon Pytlick. With his eleventh goal he made it 33:29 a good five minutes before the end of the game.
A little more than a minute before the final siren, SG coach Ales Pajovic took a timeout when the score was 35:30 so that Golla and Kevin Möller could applaud the fans for their support over the years. And they celebrated their captain and their Danish goalkeeper frenetically once again.
