Third division handball team HSG Hanau was unimpressed by the recent away defeat in Saarlouis on Saturday evening at HLZ Friesenheim-Hochdorf, because Hannes Geist’s team left nothing to be desired against the Palatinate team. The 33:23 (17:13) away win for Hanau was never in danger thanks to strong defense and goalkeeping performance and a dangerous transition game.
Hanau – The HSG’s defense, which had been badly leaky the previous week, was wide awake from the first minute this time and was able to get ahead of the hosts’ dangerous backcourt shooters in good time. “We were well prepared for the opponent and knew what kind of power we had coming from the backcourt,” commented Hanau’s coach Hannes Geist on the slightly more offensive than usual 6-0 defense that he had prescribed for his team.
For the home team, only Mihailo Ilic got into the game to some extent, the defense and goalkeeper Can Adanir had the rest under control. Thanks to Adanir’s saves and some ball conquests, the Grimmstadters were often able to switch quickly, initiate quick attacks and score goals via the first and second waves. Thanks to these simple goals, the HSG broke away early and after a quarter of an hour had built up a comfortable 10:5 lead. However, the guests were unable to pull away any further in the first half because, on the one hand, HLZ goalkeeper Mika Schwenken proved that he was a reliable support, and on the other hand, the Hanau team made some avoidable technical errors, especially when they were in the majority.

At the break, Geist’s team only led 17:13, and in the disjointed opening minutes after the restart, Friesenheim was even able to reduce the deficit to three goals. Some of the only around 100 spectators in the hall briefly dreamed of winning a point for the HLZ, which hasn’t exactly had much success recently. However, Hanau had something against it: The defense was now even more stable, behind it Can Adanir played spoilsport time and again and saved even the best chances to score. The home team sorely missed playmaker Jan-Philipp Winkler, who could have given the HLZ’s game more structure and better showcased the strong backcourt shooters.
So the HSG defense didn’t sweat too much, and the Hanau team had little problems in attack either, as they usually overran the home team in the first or second wave. Friesenheim remained without a goal for over ten minutes, during which time Hanau pulled ahead to 25:16 and had the victory in the bag. The Grimmstadters were still able to make one or two technical errors or missed throws from promising positions without being in any danger, because the hosts were simply no match for the HSG that day. Hanau coach Hannes Geist was correspondingly satisfied after the game: “We showed a lot of dominance, especially in the second half.”
Second in the table comes to the Main-Kinzig-Halle on Saturday
The HSG Hanau continues on Saturday with a home game against the second place in the table: HSG Krefeld Niederrhein is a player traveling to the Main-Kinzig-Halle who will be known to die-hard fans. At least the last name is definitely familiar to the people of Hanau. Cedric Marquardt has been playing for the “Eagles” since this season and will meet his older brother Robin, who is pulling the strings in the backcourt at HSG Hanau, on Saturday in the Min-Kinzig Hall. Kick-off is at 7:30 p.m. rob
