HSV Hamburg suffered its second bankruptcy in a row. At VfL Gummersbach, the Hanseatic League were in the lead for a long time, but were unable to bring their narrow lead across the finish line. The highlights in the video.
The Hamburg team defended this lead passionately. The Gummersbachers, who started without a regular playmaker, repeatedly reduced the score to one goal, but were initially unable to equalize. It wasn’t until 21:21 (52nd) that the old master equalized the score again and a little later even took the lead 22:21 (53rd). In the final minute, HSV coach Torsten Jansen called on the seventh field player, but a technical error prevented a possible draw.
