Bundesliga handball team TSV Hannover-Burgdorf achieved their ninth win of the season, just like HSV Hamburg.
Former national team coach Christian Prokop’s team prevailed on Thursday (December 15, 2022) with 34:27 (21:16) at the home of promoted VfL Gummersbach. With 19:11 points, Lower Saxony remains sixth in the table.
After a good start of the guests, Gummersbach went from 2:5 (8th minute) to 9:7 (16th). But Hannover responded. Shortly after the change of sides, the Swiss right fielder Maximilian Gerbl laid the foundation for the boxers’ victory with 25:16 (33rd minute).
Ninth success also for HSV Hamburg
There was also the ninth success for HSV Hamburg, who won with 28:22 (11:10) at TVB Stuttgart. With two games ahead of Hanover, the Hanseatic League is at 19:15 points. An intermediate sprint from 14:12 (33rd) to 20:14 (41st) was decisive.
HSVH coach Torsten Jansen had to do without league top scorer Casper Mortensen. The Dane did not travel to Baden-Württemberg after the birth of his son Carl Wednesday. Instead, 19-year-old Alexander Hartwig from the Hanseatic Oberliga team made his professional debut.
