Leipzig suffers a defeat in the closing stages of the SC DHfK match
Alright, kiddo, let's break down the last game of the handball season for SC DHfK Leipzig. They went down in flames against TVB Stuttgart, with a bitter 28:29 (15:15) loss, wrapping up a mediocre season with 21 wins and 47 losses, placing them 13th overall. National player Franz Semper and Andri Runarsson were the top scorers for Leipzig, notching seven goals each, in front of a home crowd of 4,817 spectators. Stuttgart secured their spot in the league with this home win.
Four days after their dismal performance against Bietigheim (25:34), Leipzig showed signs of improvement. The initial half of the game displayed some grit from the Leipzig backcourt, taking an early 9:6 lead after 15 minutes. However, things took a turn for the worse as the guests started making some careless mistakes, which Stuttgart acutely capitalized on, turning a deficit into a 15:13 lead (26th minute) thanks to their quick transitions. Leipzig fought back to even things up before the break.
The second half was a nail-biter, with Staffan Peter giving the guests the first lead of the half at 26:25 (52nd minute). A series of impressive saves from goalkeeper Domenico Ebner moved Leipzig into the lead (28:27, 56th minute), but they failed to find the back of the net in the final minutes despite their best efforts. Nico Bacani snatched the victory for Stuttgart with a dramatic winning goal just 26 seconds before the final whistle. (dpa)
