SC Magdeburg lost the group game in the Champions League group phase against Kolstad with 27:31 (14:15). Due to the defeat, the Magdeburgers in the playoffs have to hope to move into the quarter -finals. The best thrower at the SCM was Matthias Musche with eight goals. At Kolstad, Simon Jeppsson (11) and Sigvaldi Gudjonsson (10) provided over two thirds of the goals of the Norwegian team.
It was not a good appearance of SC Magdeburg near Kolstad. Especially in the second half, the Bennet Wiegert team had to let the hosts go and found too few solutions, especially in the attack.
The game was completely open. In the first half, no team was able to play out more than a one-goal lead. The SCM benefited a lot from the good performance of goalkeeper Herndanez, who was substituted early on in the game for Portner. Bennet Wiegert said a significant sentence in the first half in the first half: “The result is still far too good for what we are doing.”
Burglary after the break
So you could almost wait that this would not go well for long. In the middle of the second half, the SCM gradually lost the connection. Jeppsson and Gudjonsson near Kolstad brought the hosts in front of four goals in front after 41 minutes. Bennet Wiegert tried to stick to it with a seven-opposite six. Magdeburg made too many technical mistakes in the attack and could no longer shorten the gap. In the end it also looked like a force question – After all, the SCM still lacks numerous regular players.
Against whom the green-reds now have to be in the playoffs around the quarter-finals have not yet been determined. A German duel with the foxes Berlin from the other group is possible.
