Mid-term conclusion:
What a crazy first half in Kiel! The THW dismantled last year’s Champions League finalist KS Kielce with every trick in the book and led to the break with nine goals! From the first second, almost everything worked with highly concentrated zebras. Tomáš Mrkva, surprisingly standing in goal, made five saves, the middle block is up and the home side score at will. Even in two manpower games, the Kielers threw out a 4:0. With the guests, nothing reminds of the team that almost won the title last year and is almost certainly in the quarter-finals. The short-term departure of Nedim Remili has apparently left its mark. Even seven saves by Andi Wolff could not help the guests. But you can be pretty sure that the Polish series champion will show a different face after the change. See you soon!

That still works! A second before the siren, Reinkind makes a dream pass to Wiencek, which makes for a sensational break.

19:18
Goal for THW Kiel, 21:13 by Niclas Ekberg
Is it magic time? Ekberg overcomes Wolff with a casual lob and Kiel is down to eight goals!
28
19:17
Goal for THW Kiel, 20:13 by Patrick Wiencek
The move we discussed works perfectly! Dahmke runs in, Wiencek is free at the circle and it’s already 20:13.
27
19:17
A good three minutes before the break, Filip Jícha takes his time-out. So far, his zebras have shown an outstanding performance here. Now it’s about taking the comfortable lead into the break. Every goal counts, because Kielce will certainly appear differently here in the second half.

Goal for THW Kiel, 17:10 by Rune Dahmke
Being outnumbered is Kiel’s strongest weapon today. Again, the home side remain without a goal for two minutes and score themselves.

Goal for THW Kiel, 16:10 by Niclas Ekberg
22
19:11
Oh! Dylan Nahi has a few meters of space on the outside, flies in unchallenged and then throws easily a meter and a half over the goal! You rarely see such weak degrees from the Polish champions.

Wiencek hits Alex Dujshebaev in the face with his left arm and collects the next time penalty.

Especially in the middle block, the THW still has clear advantages and does not grant the guests any easy goals at all. It’s been a really good performance by the North Germans so far.

7-yards missed by Arkadiusz Moryto (KS Kielce)
For the next seven meters from Moryto, Niklas Landin comes onto the floor for the first time and immediately closes the door! Very strong from the newly crowned triple world champion.

16
19:03
Wolff grabs one from Reinkind, but Mrkva grabs one again against Sićko!
15
19:02
Kielce is completely off the roll! Last year’s finalist in the Champions League throws the ball away again without needing it, then Alex Dujshebaev also fails because of the good mood Tomáš Mrkva. Kiel is outnumbered with a 2:0!

Goal for THW Kiel, 11:6 by Hendrik Pekeler
While the allusions to the district at Kielce are not working at all, the zebras play Pekeler free in his territory and Wolff is again at a disadvantage.
11.
18:57
Goal for KS Kielce, 10: 6 by Dylan Nahi
The pace is still incredibly high. Kielce, in particular, keeps going through the fast middle. Now the guests are playing it well up front and getting Nahi free, who is sure to net.

The hosts got off to a much better start here! Kiel acts more focused and looks fresher than the guests from Kielce. The four-goal lead is fine.

Goal for THW Kiel, 4:2 by Eric Johansson
Mrkva already records his second save. The THW does it quickly and Johansson doesn’t give Wolff a chance again.

18:49
Goal for KS Kielce, 3:2 by Szymon Sićko
Sićko is allowed to climb up nine meters in front of the goal and then there is not much to be done. The bullet hits the bottom left.

Goal for THW Kiel, 3:1 by Steffen Weinhold
It goes back and forth quickly. Kiel got off to a slightly better start and Weinhold brought the zebras down to two with his first goal.

The first leg went to the Poles with 40:37. Is there a similar peat festival today? And can THW finally win Kielce again after nine bankruptcies in a row? It starts in a few moments!
18:41
In what has been an outstanding season to date, the guests have only lost in the away game at FC Barcelona and have otherwise won everything. The Polish series champion with Andi Wolff is not only well cast in goal. In addition to his sons Alex and Daniel, coach Talant Dujshebaev can also rely on his strong pivots Nicolas Tournat and Artsem Karalek and top scorer Arkadiusz Moryto. Superstar Nedim Remili, on the other hand, surprisingly left the club yesterday for Veszprém.
18:27
The hosts had imagined the start after the long World Cup break differently. On Sunday, Kiel lost to SC Magdeburg in the quarter-finals of the cup in a real thriller after extra time. So the first one is supposed to be brought in in the Champions League in 2023. “Kielce has an incredible amount of individual class, plays an awkward 5-1 defense and will go wide in attack. But we know how incredibly important a good place in the table after the group stage is for the rest of the competition, so we will do everything to win”, Hendrik Pekeler clarified beforehand.
18:17
In the last game before the World Cup break, the Zebras celebrated an important away win at Aalborg Handbold and thus ensured that they still have the qualification for the round of 16 in their own hands. Aalborg and Pick Szeged are still breathing down the neck of THW and so a win against Kielce would be incredibly important today. But that won’t be easy, because the team of national goalkeeper Andreas Wolff has won nine out of ten games so far and can already make it clear with another win that they go directly into the quarter-finals.
18:15
Hello and welcome to the EHF Champions League! After a break of almost two months, the premier class of European handball is finally back. THW Kiel has the Polish champion KS Kielce as a guest on the eleventh day of the game. At 6.45 p.m. there is a throw-off in the Wunderino Arena!
