Potsdam's fighting spirit remains unpublished: defeat against Gummersbach!

A heartbeat game that ended again with a bitter result for the promoters 1. VfL Potsdam! In the highly competitive encounter against VfL Gummersbach, they lost 26:28 (10:10) and after seven games remain pointless in the handball Bundesliga. Before 2,050 enthusiastic fans in the Potsdam arena at the airship port, Maxim Orlov showed the best performance with seven goals, but could not avert the bitter outcome.

The signs were anything but good: VfL Potsdam had to do without his left wing Marvin Siemer, who had to undergo foot surgery and failed for the rest of the season. Captain Elias Kofler was also not operational due to a foot injury. Despite these injuries, the Potsdamers bravely started the game, but quickly had difficulties to assert themselves against the experienced guests.

The first few minutes showed that the problems in the attack quickly became apparent. Despite violent efforts, numerous mistakes returned 2: 5 early. But the Potsdamers kept a strong defense block and the shine by goalkeeper Frederik Höler. After 21 minutes they turned the tables and even led 7: 6. A quick game after the break brought another lead to 12:10 (32nd), but Gummersbach showed its strength and equalized again (17:17, 40.).

In the final phase, the guests hit the 24:22 (55th) and thus secured victory. Despite the tireless fighting spirit, Potsdam could not score enough and is still in the last place in the table with seven defeats in a row. A clear wake -up call for the team, which now urgently needs success experiences so as not to lose the connection!
