In the Handball Bundesliga, the Rhein-Neckar Löwen suffered their second defeat of the season in a goal spectacle in Hamburg. Frisch Auf Göppingen celebrated a narrow victory.
The Rhein-Neckar Löwen lost a fast-paced and high-scoring game at HSV Hamburg 37:40 (18:21) and, with 16:4 points, missed the possible jump to the top of the Bundesliga table. “We didn’t find the stability we were accustomed to in defense and didn’t get into the pace of play,” criticized Mannheim’s right winger Patrick Groetzki after the final siren.
The lions did not recover from an intermediate sprint by Hamburg shortly before the break and ran behind a constant deficit. With ten goals, former national team captain Uwe Gensheimer was the best thrower for Mannheim, who remain one point behind leaders Füchse Berlin.
