History in the Making: Berlin Foxes One Win Away from Their First Title
Achievement of one more win remaining for Berlin to secure the historic championship. - Berlin stands on the brink of securing its historic championship, requiring just one more victory.
Bodychecks, sweat, and passion - the Berlin Foxes are gearing up for an exciting showdown! With just one more victory, these handball heroes will etch their names in the club's history books, claiming their very first championship title. Last weekend's offensive masterclass against VfL Gummersbach propelled the capital city team to a thrilling 45:35 win (22:15) on home turf, putting them in a commanding position for the season finale.
Standing between the Berlin Foxes and the coveted championship title? Just a draw against Rhein-Neckar Löwen in the final game of the season. Defending champions SC Magdeburg will face a tough match against relegation-threatened SG BBM Bietigheim. The current leaders of the Handball-Bundesliga, the Foxes, boast a lead of 56 points, all but securing their spot in the Champions League. Meanwhile, Magdeburg trails closely behind with 55 points to their name.
In their showdown against Gummersbach, the Foxes initially stumbled on some inaccurate throws, but star player Mathias Gidsel and his Danish counterpart Lasse Andersson soon took control, establishing a five-goal lead (15:10). Goalkeeper Dejan Milosavljev also played a pivotal role, particularly as the match progressed. Post-halftime, Gummersbach, with national players Miro Schluroff and Julian Köster, found themselves struggling against a relentless Berlin offense, ultimately unable to contain the incredible scoring power of the home team.
The Berlin Foxes have come a long way since their early struggles, now on the cusp of making history. With world-class player Mathias Gidsel leading the charge, the team's young coach Jaron Siewert – named HBL Coach of the Year – has guided the Foxes to the brink of immortality. All eyes will be on Berlin as they aim to solidify their place among the all-time greats. Will they manage to seize this historic opportunity or will the defending champions SC Magdeburg snatch victory from the jaws of defeat? Time will tell, but one thing is certain: this Handball-Bundesliga season promises to deliver an unforgettable finale.

Mathias Gidsel, the world-class player leading the Berlin Foxes towards their first championship title, will potentially be vying for another title, this time in the Champions League, should the team secure their spot.
