ASV Hamm-Westfalen is clearly subject to Eulen Ludwigshafen

In an exciting but disappointing game, ASV Hamm-Westfalen had to accept a bitter defeat against the owls Ludwigshafen on Saturday. The appearance in the Friedrich-Ebert-Halle led to a clear result of 24:29, which means the second defeat of the season for the table third. Even before the kick -off, there were many questions in the room, especially due to the personnel problems of the ASV.

The journey to Ludwigshafen was already shaped by dark clouds over the BASF site, and the weather reflected the emerging nervousness of the guests. Coach Michael Hegemann had classified the participation of several players as questionable, which increased the pressure on the remaining actors. Particularly injured failures of key players such as goalkeeper Marcos Colodeti and back area rights Tom Jansen had weakened the team.

game course and key events

The start of the game already gave an idea that it would be a hard fight. A double parade from Felix Hertlein, the goalkeeper jumped in, initially gave the hammer players a little boost. However, the guests were caught cold with a time penalty against Julius Meyer-Siebert, which the owls took advantage of to quickly take the lead with 2-0. The Hamm team looked unsorted in the first few minutes and left decisive opportunities.

The first ten minutes of the game were a single disaster for the ASV, because they not only went back 0: 2, but also quickly faced a 6: 1 deficit. Hegemann used the first break to reorganize his team. The changes were fruitful and Hamm came into play better. After an 8-2 run, they even managed the first tour of the game with 9: 8.

But the next setback was not long in coming: Fabian Huesmann received a red card because of a hard -won Situation in the seven -meter, which the hammer team destabilized again. With a deficit of 15:10 we went into the half -time break for the ASV, which just didn't have luck on his side that day.

After the break, the ASV tried to win new swing with an early goal from Meyer-Siebert. But the owls acted cool and could not be disturbed. An interim deficit of seven goals illustrated the dominance of the hosts, while Hamm did not manage to reduce the number of opportunities awarded.

Despite all efforts and increased operational readiness, the ASV remained behind its possibilities. Ludwigshafen scored points in his own attack and kept the guests at a distance. Over the entire game, it was the unstable throw -off that made Hamm life difficult and made the team stagnate on the offensive.

The owls Ludwigshafen could keep the ASV in chess in its domestic hall and strengthened its advantage with a solid defensive performance. In the final phase of the game, there was no longer much hope for the guests to win points. Hamm had to put up with the defeat and will now have to hope for better performance in the upcoming games.

Today's encounter illuminates the challenges with which the ASV is confronted, especially with regard to injury -related failures and the need to bring a consistently strong performance over the entire duration. The team has experienced both heights and depths this season, but it is clear that a quick reaction is necessary to get out of this dry spell.
