The dream of the title for the handball Bundesliga club TSV Hannover-Burgdorf probably burst. The Lower Saxony lost the top game at home against the MT Melsungen on Friday with 23:29 (15:14).
The best thrower for Melsungen was the ex- “Recke” Timo Kastening with seven goals. However, MT goalkeeper Adam Morwaski with 13 parades became the match winner. The national players Lukas Stutzke (6) and Justus Fischer (5) were the most successful shooters for Lower Saxony.
The fourth place “stretches” now have 15 minus points in the account, while the second Melsungen and Leaders Füchse Berlin are at ten. Already on Monday (8 p.m.) the North Germans have the next difficult task in front of their chest with the away game at Meister SC Magdeburg.
With the games in Flensburg and at home against Kiel in early June, TSV has the most difficult remaining program of the top teams anyway.
Prokop: “We play how Sleeping pills “
Against Melsungen, the “stretching” did not find the game at all and coach Christian Prokop pulled the ripcord after just 13 minutes. 2: 6 was his team in the back when he took a break and talked plain text: “We play like sleeping pills, the Morawski laughs back there.” In fact, the Lower Saxony acted far too stubborn and Melsungen’s goalkeeper had little trouble to have five parades in the account at that time.

However, the Prokopsche Standpauke had an effect. Then the hosts tore together and turned the game within twelve minutes. At the break, Hannover-Burgdorf did not lead undeservedly with 15:14.
Melsungens Balenciaga hardly to be kept
The problem: The “stretching” could not save their level from the second half of the first section in the second half. Melsungen played driven by Erik Balenciaga, which was hard to hold, more determined and moved to five goals after 48 minutes – 25:20.
The Lower Saxony no longer recovered. The home side threw everything they had in the balance, fought again at 23:25 (55th), but in the crucial moments, Melsungen was nervous. And had the “laughing” Morwaski, who was a big factor for the defeat of the “warriors” with a total of 13 parades.
