The SC Magdeburg missed the leap to the top of the table with a disappointing 29:30 against Stuttgart.
Magdeburg l There were only 19 seconds left to play against TVB Stuttgart when SCM trainer Bennet Wiegert took a break. A 29:30 flashed off the scoreboard. And the hosts were in possession of the ball. Does it work with at least one point? It did not work. Omar Ingi Magnusson failed with the last throw of the game.
Already at the break 14 misses
“I don’t know if we deserved it. The bottom line is that Stuttgart deserves the win, ”said Wiegert, acknowledging the first ever defeat against Stuttgart. His team did not lose the game in the final minutes, but in the first half. Then the green-reds carried the mortgage of a 12:18 arrears into the cabin. Wiegert: “That was just too much. We made 14 misses by the break. For a Bundesliga team that wants to win a home game, that’s clearly too much. That made us more and more hectic and lost our heads. “
Bitterly towering in the Stuttgarter Tor
Before 1939 spectators, the SCM had a really difficult time in the Getec Arena from the start. The quick 1: 3 (3rd) turned into a 5: 3 lead (8th). But that didn’t really bring security either. Again and again, the Magdeburg team failed, mainly because of Jogi Bitter in the Stuttgarter Tor. After a quarter of an hour he was also the first goalkeeper in the Bundesliga to hold a seven-meter from Omar Ingi Magnusson. Then the guests moved away to 6: 9 (18th). And because the hosts made one mistake after the other until the break, it looked really dark at the break. “We ran into the counterattack too often,” said Christoph Steinert angrily.
After a decent booth sermon, Steinert and Co. came out of the booth with a lot of anger in their stomach and started immediately. Wiegert reported: “I told you in the dressing room that we were negligent with the result. Because we could have gone into the break just three or four goals behind. “
SCM made it exciting again
Only seven minutes after the break, however, the Magdeburg team was at 17:19. Even at the meanwhile 19:23 (42nd minute) the SCM could not be thrown off the ground and started the next race to catch up. But when the score was 21:27 (47th), the hope of victory and the championship lead was actually gone. But the SCM showed again morale and did not give up. So three minutes before the end it was suddenly only 29:30. But first Matthias Musche failed and then Magnusson.
Much to Bitter’s delight. “We got into swimming again after the break. I was a bit concerned about that. But then we were able to bring some calm back into the game. And we were close to winning last year, ”said the ex-Magdeburg resident.
