Flensburg loses again: relegation worries after defeat against the lions!

The SG Flensburg-Handewitt suffered bitter setbacks again on Thursday evening in the fight for the championship. In a gripping game against the Rhein-Neckar Löwen, the team of coach Nicolej Krickau had to give up with 29:31, which lets Flensburger fall back to sixth place with more nine minus points. This defeat comes after several critical away games in which the SG had difficulty underpinning its claim to the championship, as well as reported.

Best thrower of the game was Juri Knorr with eight goals for Flensburg, while the goalkeeper of the Löwen, David Späth, became an insurmountable obstacle in the decisive moment of the game and recorded a total of eleven parades in the second round. "We should have taken better use of our chances," said playmaker Jim Gottfridsson after the game and emphasized that the defensive votes were not correct. "We have to get points where we may not count on it," he added, which increases the pressure on the team. The gap to the leaders Melsungen, Kiel and Magdeburg is getting bigger, since the SG now also has to feel its exciting pursuers on the neck, like ndr.de reported.

intensive final phase

In a high -tensioning encounter, SG Flensburg was able to keep up, but stuck in the crucial moments of the second half. After building a narrow lead in the first half, there was a certain weakness in the final phase, which was discussed in previous games. In the critical final phase, the guests have no gates for more than six minutes, while the lions were able to expand their leadership. This development ultimately secured victory for the Rhein-Neckar Löwen and presented Flensburg with a new challenge, because the next game against the Foxes Berlin is already on Monday.
