Füchse Berlin's Handball Victory in Lemgo: Drux's Return to the Field
The resilient Füchse Berlin handball team stole the spotlight once again, securing a thrilling 32-29 victory against TBV Lemgo Lippe on a chilly Saturday evening. This victory marks a significant milestone as the squad stays hot on the heels of league leaders SC Magdeburg. But the night belonged to none other than their inspiring captain, Paul Drux, who made a triumphant return to the game after overcoming a grueling seven-month injury layoff.
The contest was a nail-biter as both teams showcased scintillating attacking prowess in the initial stages. The back-and-forth exchange resulted in an evenly matched first half. Despite Berlin's struggles to regain control and conceding easy goals, their opponents, Lemgo, capitalized on leftover rebounds. By the half-time whistle, neither team had managed to establish a substantial lead.
After a temporary 10-10 tie, coach Jaron Siewert called a timeout. The tactical adjustment seemed to be the turning point for the Füchse Berlin, according to the Foxes' Twitter account, as they quickly reeled off a 3-0 run, establishing a slight lead for the first time.
However, the Foxes' problems persisted in the center of defense, allowing Lemgo to claw back with a counter-attack. As the break neared, Drux made his comeback appearance, tearing his Achilles tendon, and the crowd was captivated by his heroic efforts.
Following the restart, Füchse Berlin managed to exploit Lemgo's peculiar tactic of replacing the goalkeeper with another outfield player during attacks. The switch offered the Foxes an opportunity to score easy goals following successful possession wins. They managed to open up a 5-goal gap by the 36th minute (22-17).
Despite Lemgo's relentless attempts to cut the deficit, Dejan Milosavljev, Füchse Berlin's stalwart goalkeeper, came up with numerous crucial saves to help Berlin maintain their lead till the final whistle.
