At the match's outset, Hamburg displayed a domineering display, thundering to an impressive 8:3 lead within the first 10 minutes. However, Wetzlar steadied their defense and stuck hard, cutting Hamburg's advantage to 14:15 before the break.
Coach Torsten Jansen of Hamburg urged his team to remain cool in a post-match interview, but it was Wetzlar who continued to challenge. Some fine orchestration from Dominik Mappes kept Wetzlar in the hunt, yet Hamburg surged ahead from 26:24 to 31:25, sealing the deal [1].
Five of Hamburg's players were paid emotional tributes post-match as they confirm their departures: Tissier (TSV Hannover-Burgdorf), Alexander Hartwig (VfL Lübeck-Schwartau), Asat Waliullin (unknown), and Zoran Ilic (Wisla Plock/Poland). Tomislav Severec had already bid farewell to the club, having joined TuS N-Lübbecke mid-season [4].
