D.SG Flensburg-Handewitt and HSV Hamburg lost Handball Bundesliga away games on Thursday. Flensburg suffered their third defeat of the season at 29:31 (15:13) to VfL Gummersbach, Hamburg lost 29:35 (13:15) at HC Erlangen after three straight wins.
The climber from Gummersbach presented the Flensburg team with a difficult task. A further complication for SG was that defense player Magnus Röd and circle runner Johannes Golla were injured in the first half. From 49 ‘Flensburg chases the deficit. The 26:29 five minutes before the final whistle was too big a burden. Flensburg’s best pitcher was Emil Jakobsen with seven goals.
After Frederik Andersen’s 3: 3 on the right, Hamburg had huge problems in the sixth minute. For almost five minutes they did not score an own goal. During this time, Erlangen was successful six times and walked away at 9: 3. HSVH coach Torsten Jansen’s team was therefore unable to use the intermediate maximum at 24:24 (46th) to return from Franconia with something countable. Hamburg defender Jacob Lassen played well again, scoring nine goals.
Both teams from Northern Germany barely have time to recover before the next matches. Flensburg are set to play their home game against HC Erlangen on Saturday (20:30 / Sky). HSV Hamburg welcomes leaders Füchse Berlin (18:15 / Sky) on Sunday.
