The handball players from SC Magdeburg prevailed in the handball Bundesliga pursuit duel against VfL Gummersbach and set off offensive fireworks in the process. Melsungen remains leader of the table.
The Magdeburgers won on matchday 14 with 37:28 (21:15) and are now in sixth place in the table, three points ahead of VfL, who made too many mistakes and a defense that was too holey to really keep the fast hosts in to bring danger.
Zehnder outstanding – Bergendahl injured
The outstanding goalscorer was Manuel Zehnder, who scored twelve goals from 15 attempts. The eleven goals from Gummersbach’s seven-meter shooter Milos Vujovic didn’t help either. It was only in the middle of the second half that the Gummersbachers were close, when they turned a 16:24 into a 22:26 – but then Bennet Wiegert’s team tightened the reins again and pulled away again. Bitter for the SCM: Circular Oscar Bergendahl apparently seriously injured his foot after just 90 seconds and is likely to be out for a long time.
Melsungen remains league leader
MT Melsungen remains at the top of the table and didn’t have much trouble in the 35:28 (17:12) win against HSV Hamburg. Four Melsung players scored five goals. With 24:4 points, coach Roberto Garcia Parrondo’s team remains at the top.
