ASV Hamm-Westfalen fights bravely, but Hagen pulls away!

In an exciting duel in the 2nd handball Bundesliga, the ASV Hamm-Westfalen had to accept a narrow defeat again on Sunday. Against VfL Eintracht Hagen, a direct pursuer in the middle of the table, they were defeated with 34:36 (16:17). Despite a strong opening and an early lead, the team was increasingly under pressure in the second half, such as ASV Hamm-Westfalen

In the second half, the guests were clearly superior. For the time being, the ASV was able to reduce the gap to four goals, but at the latest after the 41st minute the resistance was broken: Hagen pulled away to 27:22. Despite all the efforts, the defeat remained what clouded the balance of Hamm in the current season. Hagen, on the other hand, has developed into a real climber in the past few weeks and has been achieving away and home wins since January 2024, while the ASV is now forced to assert itself against the next opponents- HSG Nordhorn-Lingen. This runs the risk of losing important points in relegation battle, while Hagen floats on a wave of success, as the data show.
