After the away win in Kielce and the subsequent Bundesliga call sign against Melsungen, SC Magdeburg is now also struggling in the Champions League. The progress is very close.
The SC Magdeburg is still a step from moving into the playoffs of the Champions League. Thanks to a self-sacrificing energy performance, the team of head coach Bennet, who is plagued by head coach Bennet Wiegert, forced the Danish champion Aalborg Handbold with 32:31 (17:17) in front of 6.337 fans in the local GETEC-Arena.
With a gloss reflex in the very last second against the hidden litter of Aleks Vlah, keeper Sergey Hernandez finally secured the fifth victory in the twelfth group game. Last but not least, Felix Claar and Michael Damgaard (eight goals) and the flawless Matthias Musche (5/5) convinced offensive. Due to the direct comparison, a draw would be next Wednesday (February 26, 6:45 p.m. in the Audio Livestream and Spio ticker) at Kolstad IL in Norway mean the early ticket in the KO round.

Kristjansson injured, Damgaard runs hot
Even if it took a few minutes for the opponents to get efficiency in the degrees, both teams pressed the pace right from the start. In between, breathless high-speed handball was offered. However, Gisli Kristjansson’s early injury clouded the mood. The SCM back room killed in the fifth minute on the train to the circle and should no longer return to the plate.
Instead of the Icelander, Damgaard initially took responsibility. The Danish sniper converted seven out of eleven attempts in the course of the entertaining first half. In the meantime, the hosts led with three goals – among other things when right -wing Daniel Pettersson passed on Damgaard’s passing (24th). But the guests of coach Simon Dahl could not be shaken off and were a good one and a half minutes in front of the break again (28./15:15).
District runner Magnus Saugstrup scored three of his four goals in the last ten minutes.

The second half became a character test. In view of the decimated personnel situation, Wiegert hardly remained alternatives, so that in addition to the two keepers Nikola Portner and Hernandez, only eight field players were operational. And they also survived the tricky phase when the SCM only a goal from Musche (28th) between the 37th and 44th minute was achieved and Aalborg led with two goals (44./23:25).
Claar and circular runner Magnus Saugstrup subsequently went on in the attack, while the Magdeburgers passionately defended their own box. In addition, said Hernandez swung up with repeated glossy parades for the match winner, which also had no negative effects 55 seconds before the end.
