The Füchse Berlin are extending their winning streak in the Champions League and are about to reach the quarter-finals. The handball Bundesliga team won against the Hungarian champions One Veszprém HC 38:34 (19:18) in front of 5,720 spectators in the Max Schmeling Hall. With the ninth win in the ninth game, the Füchse remain leaders in Group A. The best Berlin throwers were Lasse Andersson with ten and Tim Freihöfer with eight goals.
In addition to the long-term injuries Fabian Wiede, Lukas Herburger, Nils Lichtlein and Leo Prantner, coach Nicolej Krickau also had to do without regular goalkeeper Dejan Milosavljev (adductor injury) for a short time. A heavy burden, because the Foxes had problems in defense right from the start. There were always big gaps and the guests found shots far too easily.
Ludwig strong in the final phase
So the Berliners immediately fell behind. In the 13th minute, Pius Joppich came on for Lasse Ludwig. Joppich usually plays in the second team in the third division. But that didn’t help either. Only when the Foxes covered more offensively did they force the Hungarians to make mistakes. Three minutes before the break they took the lead again after a long time (17:16).
Even after the break it remained tight. After 45 minutes, the Foxes fell behind again by two goals (25:27), but immediately responded with a 3-0 run. And now Ludwig also became a factor with important saves. Five minutes before the end, the hosts extended their lead to 34:30. And then carried them confidently over time.
