Handball: SC Magdeburg wins the Champions League thriller

The German handball champion SC Magdeburg won in the Champions League at home against GOG Svendborg from Denmark 36:34 (21:18) and thus took revenge for the narrow defeat in the first leg.

Magdeburg’s most successful thrower was Omar Ingi Magnusson with eleven goals.

In Group A, Bennet Wiegert’s team is third with twelve points, just behind the two top teams from Paris and Veszprem. Only the top two in the group qualify directly for the quarter-finals at the end of the preliminary round.

In the Bundesliga, SCM plays at leaders Füchse Berlin on Sunday before the next top game against Paris is scheduled for Wednesday.
