The Füchse Berlin decide the top game against Hanover’s handball players at the last second. An undisputed referee decision in the last minute caused a huge stir. SC Magdeburg is finding it easier.
The Füchse Berlin and SC Magdeburg have consolidated their place in the top group of the handball Bundesliga. After improving their performance in the second half on Sunday, the Berliners defeated TSV Hannover-Burgdorf 34:33 (18:21) and defended their second place in the table behind MT Melsungen. The best Berlin thrower was Mathias Gidsel with eight goals. “Everyone fights for everyone, everyone believes in everyone,” said left winger Tim Freihöfer on the streaming service Dyn, commenting on the capital club’s hard-earned success.
Champions League winner Magdeburg is in third place one position behind the Berliners after their confident 35:28 (20:13) against TBV Lemgo Lippe. With the win against East Westphalia, the Elbe townspeople got in the mood for the premier class duel at FC Barcelona on Thursday. Magdeburg’s backcourt player Felix Claar was the most successful player on the field with twelve goals. “He’s not at his limit yet,” said coach Bennet Wiegert about the 26-year-old’s performance.

While the fans in Magdeburg saw one-way handball, the spectators in Berlin’s Max-Schmeling-Halle experienced a crime thriller. At the beginning, the Füchse defense had little access; almost every attack by the guests from Hanover resulted in a goal.

In the meantime, Lower Saxony increased their lead to six goals. But an excellent twelve minutes from the home team were enough to equalize again. Things got hectic in the last minute. Six seconds before the end, Hannover’s Branko Vujovic was shown the red card and Hans Lindberg scored from a seven-meter shot to seal the win.

The referees had judged that Vujovic had prevented himself from throwing by taking the ball with him. “That makes me angry. It would have been best for everyone if we had decided the matter in a sporting way until the end. Of course it hurts now,” said Hannover backcourt player Marian Michalczik, criticizing the controversial decision. It was Hannover’s first defeat after a strong start to the season.
