A Tough Night for Flensburg: SC Magdeburg Slams the Door on Their Bundesliga Visit
Magdeburg secures a decisive win against Flensburg's handball squad - Magdeburg denies any hope for Flensburg handball player's success
In a crushing blow, the handball squad from SG Flensburg-Handewitt suffered a disheartening defeat on their last away game of the season. The final score of 35:27 against SC Magdeburg left the North Germans with their sixth away loss this season.
The disappointment began early when SG captain Johannes Golla was sidelined following a red card incident in the 20th minute. A face hit against Magdeburg's Philipp Weber triggered his disqualification, as the North Germans trailed 8:11 at the time.
Without one of their key figures, both in offense and defense, the North Germans struggled to regain control. The hosts seized the opportunity to dominate the game, swiftly widening the gap to eight goals (21:13) after the break.
However, even the hosts weren't wholly satisfied. Tim Hornke's seven-meter throw made it 29:18 in the final phase. In the dying moments, both SG coach Ales Pajovic and SCM coach Bennet Wiegert fielded some young players. The game's top scorers were Emil Jakobsen with eight goals for Flensburg and Magdeburg's Weber with seven.
