SC Magdeburg’s path to the final was much more relaxed, as they managed a start-finish success against the newcomers to the Final Four, HC Erlangen. Even before the transition to the cabin, the leader of the handball Bundesliga had four goals and always kept the Franconians at a distance after the change of sides. In the end, the Sachsen-Anhalter achieved a 30:22 victory with a solid performance. The four-time FDGB Cup winner, who won the DHB Cup in 1996 and 2016, wants revenge today for the 2019 final, which he lost to Kiel 24:28.

After falling behind again in the 53rd minute, the North Germans pulled the score to their side just in time with a late 4-0 run.

12:33 p.m
A warm welcome to the DHB Cup final! THW Kiel and SC Magdeburg fight for the silver trophy at the highlight of the Final Four in Hamburg. The throw-off in the Barclaycard Arena is scheduled for 1:25 p.m.
