Tuspo Obernburg was also able to celebrate and celebrated their third win in a row on Sunday evening. Against TSG Offenbach-Bürgel, the Römerstadters were behind 16:20 at the break due to poor defensive performance, but showed an impressive improvement in performance in the second half and ultimately won clearly.
HSG Pohlheim – TV Kirchzell 28:34 (13:15). – The Central Hessians turned out to be the expected tough opponents in the opening minutes and repeatedly worked out narrow leads, which Kirchzell subsequently caught up with. “Both teams were well prepared for each other, it was the expected battle of attrition,” said TVK coach Andi Kunz about the game. Shortly before half-time, the guests were ahead for the first time and went into the dressing room with a two-goal lead.
The lead was history again just five minutes after the break, as Pohlheim regained the lead with four goals in a row. Kunz immediately took a time out to stop HSG’s run, and as a result the game became more evenly balanced again. Tom Spieß increasingly proved to be a player with many talents, because after, among other things, the two TVK circle players were temporarily unavailable – Jannik Wolf had shoulder problems, Jan Blank was given a turban because of a cut on his ear – “we simply put Tom where he was “We just needed him.”
Even with this somewhat unorthodox formation, the guests managed to stay on level terms until four minutes before the end – and then went one better. “Pohlheim didn’t play as disciplinedly, but we were still fit and fully there,” said a delighted Andi Kunz, whose team put the lid on the majority and thus secured victory in the top game.
Tuspo Obernburg – TSG Offenbach-Bürgel 36:28 (16:20). – The spectators in the Valentin-Ballmann-Halle saw an entertaining game, because the defensive lines on both sides were initially not involved at all. Since both the guests and the Römerstädters were reliably netting at the front, a balanced game developed without any major advantages for either opponent, but five minutes before the break, things took a turn for the worse. TSG player Nils Lenort was shown red for a hard foul, but Obernburg was unable to take advantage of the numerical advantage and instead lost several unnecessary balls. “These were actions that we had discussed in advance, so our heads were hanging for now,” said Tuspo coach Rudi Frank, who was anything but satisfied with the 20 goals conceded by the half-time whistle.
The Obernburg coach obviously found the right words in the dressing room, because his team needed exactly seven minutes and 14 seconds after the restart to equalize at 22:22. And the Tuspo didn’t stop there: Supported by a significantly better defense and with an almost insurmountable Sandro Friedrich in goal, who also shone as a two-goal scorer, the hosts gave TSG no chance at all in the second half and had ten at the latest Minutes before the final whistle, the shot was uncatchable.
Rudi Frank made up for the outstanding performance in the second half a little: “Our defensive performance definitely needs to be more consistent, but the result is wonderful. We are really happy that we won so well against a strong opponent.«
