In a closely contested match, SC DHfK Leipzig and TSV Hannover-Burgdorf fought to a 25-25 draw in front of 4973 spectators on a Friday evening.
The hosts, SC DHfK, have been struggling significantly in the Bundesliga this season, with poor performance and low standings in recent matches. In the 2025 season, they ranked last in the 2. Bundesliga Süd men’s league with only 2 points from 16 games, and a set record of 8 wins to 46 losses, indicating a very tough season.

They also lost to Hamburg (25-29) and Kiel (24-39), reflecting a pattern of defeats. In a friendly game on August 7, 2025, they narrowly lost 30-32 against MT Melsungen.
Despite the challenges, SC DHfK put up a valiant effort against Hannover. The match started with Matej Klima scoring four goals in the initial 10 minutes, giving SC DHfK a 7:3 lead. However, Hannover found their rhythm in attack after a timeout by Christian Prokop, and equalized the match at 17:17 in the 38th minute.
The score remained close until the final minutes, with SC DHfK having more offensive play. Despite their efforts, they were unable to take the lead, and Hannover capitalized on the opportunity, scoring at 23:21 in the 52nd minute to take a one-goal lead.
The hosts refused to give up and equalized the match at 25:25 with 33 seconds left on the clock. Unfortunately, their final attack did not result in a score, allowing Hannover to close the gap to one goal before halftime.
Kristian Saeveras made 14 saves for Hannover in the match, while Matej Klima and Viggo Kristjansson were the top scorers for SC DHfK, each scoring seven goals.
