Potsdam Stumbles in Pursuit of Second Victory in Handball-Bundesliga
- VfL Potsdam fails to secure its upcoming fixture.
Hey there!
The VfL Potsdam squad fell short once more in their chase for a major triumph following their initial Handball-Bundesliga win. In the battle of novice clubs against Bietigheim-Bissingen, Emir Kutargic's team succumbed with a score of 28:30 (14:12). In a less-than-packed Egetrans-Arena, Maxim Orlov netted seven goals, and Max Günther added five.
Potsdam kicked things off on a high note and led 5:1 in the initial eight minutes, even stretching their lead to 8:2 at the 13-minute mark. The Brandenburgers capitalized on numerous technical mistakes from the hosts and maintained their defensive stance. However, the hosts managed a comeback and reduced the deficit to 12:14 at halftime.
In the 36th minute, Bietigheim equalized at 16:16, two minutes later clinching the first lead for the hosts at 17:16. Potsdam struggled to rediscover their ease from the first half. But the guests rebounded and tied the score at 22:22 in the 49th minute, following which Bietigheim pulled ahead to a three-goal advantage within two minutes and claimed their inaugural home victory of the season.
