Handball Bundesliga: clear lion victory against Lemgo

Dhe Rhein-Neckar Löwen have maintained their lead in the handball Bundesliga with a commanding 26:18 (14: 9) win against TBV Lemgo Lippe. The Mannheimers are 14: 2 points ahead of defending champion THW Kiel (10: 2), who has to compete at Bergischer HC on Sunday. The guest performance of SG Flensburg-Handewitt (10: 2) at Füchsen Berlin, which was also planned on Sunday, was canceled due to another corona case at the capital city.

In front of empty ranks, the Rhein-Neckar Löwen had the game under control from the start and after a good quarter of an hour they had a five-goal cushion at 9: 4. Even in the second half, the home side, where goalkeeper Nikolas Katsigiannis stood out with numerous saves, always kept control. The winner’s best thrower was left wing Uwe Gensheimer with five goals.
