VfL Gummersbach before difficult home game against strong league leaders Melsungen!

In an intensive duel, VfL Gummersbach had to take a bitter defeat against the reigning German champion, SC Magdeburg, on Wednesday evening. With 28:37 (15:21) the team of head coach Gudjon Valur Sigurdsson lost in the Getec Arena after the Magdeburgers dominated from the start. Despite an interim rearing in the second half, when Gummersbach came to four goals, the home side did not give in and set themselves away from VfL.

The course of the game took a dramatic turn when Magdeburg's circular runner Oscar Bergendahl had to be worn by the field after a collision with the Gummersbach captain Julian Köster. While the Oberberger kept up equally at the beginning of the game, they couldn't find their usual game on the offensive. "We were simply not effective enough," Sigurdsson analyzed after the game, while his team now had to accept the fourth defeat of the season with a balance of 16:10 points. A demanding week is in front of you because you will have to compete against the MT Melsungen, the league leader with a hot goalkeeper, Nebosja Simic next Monday.
