In an unexpected turn of events, the German 2nd Bundesliga handball league is buzzing with anticipation. After the sports court of the German Handball Federation (DHB) made a decision, the game between TUSEM Essen and Dessau-Roßlauer HV, played on April 27th, is set for a redo. The resurrected match might have significant consequences for both teams.
The recent verdict by the DHB sports court derives from a questionable timekeeping case in the match favoring Dessau, which they won 28:27. The Dessau squad played the final three seconds with an extra player on the field due to a time penalty, neither referees nor officials were aware of this breach, so TUSEM Essen lodged a protest against the game's result.
If Dessau loses the replayed match, their position in 10th place could be in jeopardy, leading them to slip down to second-to-last and potentially face relegation instead of the current contender, ASV Hamm-Westfalen. An appeal against this decision by the DHB sports court is not entertained, and the replay must take place by June 30th at the latest.
Reckoning Time
The replay sets the stage for both clubs as the game could drastically alter the relegation battle. Dessau-Roßlau and ASV Hamm-Westfalen are now separated by two points, with Hamm boasting a substantially superior goal difference. Meanwhile, TUSEM Essen, already assured of their safety as the 16th team, can aim for a higher finish (9th place) if they manage to win the rematch, granting them entry to the upcoming DHB Cup edition.
Preparing for this pivotal rematch poses significant challenges for both clubs. Dessau-Roßlau bid farewell to long-time coach Uwe Jungandreas and five players on the last matchday, while TUSEM Essen also parted ways with five players. Furthermore, one player from each team will play for Germany at the U21 World Championship from June 17th to 29th.
The Struggle for Survival
In handball, replaying a match due to timekeeping errors is not uncommon, following regulations that ensure fairness and the integrity of the competition. Teams will both brace themselves for the replay's inconvenience, as neither club will be penalized unless more misconduct is discovered. However, the outcome of the replay could affect both teams' league positions, planning, and financial performance.
