The Füchse Berlin have stopped their negative run in the handball Bundesliga. On Thursday evening, the Berliners won the Rhein-Neckar Löwen after an increase in performance in the second half with 27:24 (14:16). Previously, there had been four defeats in the last five league games. This means the foxes climb back to sixth place. The best thrower from Berlin was Jacob Holm with eight goals.
With the exception of Milos Vujovic, the Füchse were able to compete with the best cast. And they got into the game well against weakened lions and took a 2-1 lead. But the guests lacked the necessary access on the defensive. Almost every throw of the hosts was also a hit. In addition, the Berliners made some technical errors, and there were unnecessary time penalties.

So mostly the lions were in the lead. After 23 minutes, Berlin’s deficit had grown to four goals (10:14). Especially left winger Jerry Tollbring could hardly get them under control. The Swedes get eight goals in the first half. But the foxes fought their way back up before the break.
Shortly after the break, the foxes equalized at 16:16. Now the hosts were also making mistakes. After 48 minutes, Tim Matthes brought his team back into the lead after a long time (22:21). And the foxes now followed suit. With four minutes to go, Paul Drux extended the lead to three goals (25:22). Then they brought the lead to the finish.
