Home triumph for Kiel's handball team over Leipzig - Handball Player from Kiel Secures Convincing Win against Leipzig at Home
THW Kiel Secures Commanding Home Victory in Handball-Bundesliga Over Leipzig
The team coached by Filip Jicha solidified their dominance in the Handball-Bundesliga despite a missed title in the European League. Three days after finishing third at the Final Four in Hamburg, Kiel comfortably defeated SC DHfK Leipzig 39:24 (21:11) in a home game that saw 10,023 spectators pack the Kieler Arena. Bence Imre was the top scorer for THW with twelve goals, while Andri Mar Runarsson and Lucas Krzikalla each scored five for Leipzig.
The "Zebras" took control of the match from the opening minutes. After a 4:4 tie in the seventh minute, Kiel surged ahead, establishing an 11:4 lead by the 14th minute. The game's outcome was all but decided by THW's ten-goal advantage at halftime.
In the second half, the game remained lopsided, with Leipzig struggling to slow down the record champions. Patrick Wiencek, who is set to retire at the end of the season, was named player of the match, tallying ten goals in the game—a first for him in a Bundesliga contest.
