SG Flensburg-Handewitt remains a power at home in the handball Bundesliga. On Wednesday evening, the Schleswig-Holsteiners won 34:24 (16:14) against SC DHfK Leipzig and celebrated their fourth victory in the fourth home game of the season.
The Flensburg team, who thus gave the right answer to the away defeat in Stuttgart, only seemed nervous and without self-confidence in the first half, but the North Germans turned up the heat in the second half. The best SG thrower was Simon Pytlick with seven goals in front of 5,943 spectators. Thanks to their success, the Flensburg team climbed to fourth place in the table – but with 10:6 points they are still well behind leaders Füchse Berlin (16:0) and second place MT Melsungen (14:2).
