Potsdam handball trauma: seventh defeat and no point in sight!

Drama in the Potsdam Arena! The climber 1. VfL Potsdam had to surrender to VfL Gummersbach with 26:28 in a gripping handball game. Despite passionate performance and 2,050 enthusiastic fans, it was the seventh setback for the team of coach Emir Kurtagic, which continues to be in the handball Bundesliga without points.

The shock was great when the Potsdamers had to do without their valuable left wing and seven-meter shooters Marvin Siemer, who could be subjected to foot surgery. Captain and playmaker Elias Kofler was also lost by a foot injury. The Potsdamers started with a weakened squad and fell back early with 2: 5. But the Brandenburgers were combative and were able to initiate the turn with a compact defensive and the parades of goalkeeper Frederik Höler.

gripping turns!

After a shocking 10:10 at halftime, the Potsdamers held the tension up and in the meantime led 12:10. However, the touch of hope died quickly when Gummersbach struck back and in the 55th minute with 24:22 set the decisive course for victory. Potsdam was able to keep up with a lot of fighting spirit, but the multitude of mistakes in crucial moments made the impossible true: the Brandenburgers remain without points and are at the end of the table.

Maxim Orlov was the brilliant ray of hope for Potsdam, with an impressive appearance and seven goals tirelessly deployed. However, the points failed to materialize and the pressure on the team increases. How long can Potsdam withstand this setback? The next games will be decisive!
