Bergischer HC Secures Promotion-Boosting Win Against VfL Lübeck-Schwartau
The Bergischer HC has clinched a vital victory in their quest for promotion, defeating VfL Lübeck-Schwartau with a score of 30:27. The match was a closely contested affair, with both teams displaying their respective strengths and weaknesses.
In the first half, Belal Massoud impressed on the left wing, while the BHC's defense struggled at times, as Markus Puetz noted a lack of control. Schrader and Refsgaard, however, made some good decisions in isolation, according to the same source.
The second half saw a significant turn of events, as the BHC switched to a 5:1 defense, with Eloy Morante Maldonado at the tip. This change improved their defense, causing issues for the opposing team. The BHC gradually pulled away, scoring four consecutive goals through Beyer, Seesing, Scholtes, and Fuchs, which proved to be the deciding factor in the game.
Despite the guests scoring the last point, reducing the deficit to three goals for the first time since 24:21, the BHC held on to secure the win. However, Fabian Gutbrod described the game as a "dirty game" and not the best of the season for the BHC.
With this victory, the BHC ends the year with a promotion spot, having won their ninth home game. They currently hold a five-point lead on the third place.
Meanwhile, a significant development for the club is the contract extension of their captain and playmaker, Tomas Babak, until June 30, 2027. This move is expected to provide stability, improve team cohesion, and enhance their promotion chances in the 2nd Handball Bundesliga.
The BHC's next two games of the first half will be against Hagen and Dessau-Roßlau. As they continue their push for promotion, these matches will be crucial in maintaining their current position and building momentum for the second half of the season.
The BHC's victory against VfL Lübeck-Schwartau opens doors for European leagues, marking a significant step in their journey. Tomas Babak's contract extension until 2027 will undeniably boost their chances for promotion next season, as they prepare for upcoming matches against Hagen and Dessau-Roßlau in the 2nd Handball Bundesliga.
