Leipzig's handball players fight bravely: Flensburg wins late 35:29!

An exciting handball game in Flensburg that captivated the spectators! SC DHfK Leipzig, despite a defeat, showed a fighting performance that is not often seen in the Bundesliga. With a decimated team that had to do without important players, the Leipzig team went into the game courageously and posed a real challenge for championship contenders SG Flensburg-Handewitt. The final score of 35:29 belies the intensity of the game, as Leipzig was a serious opponent until the last minute.

The Saxons started with only 13 players because several key players were missing. But that didn't stop them from getting into the game straight away. Lukas Binder opened the scoring, followed by Luca Witzke and Viggó Kristjánsson, who quickly put Leipzig in the lead. The first 20 minutes were a real exchange of blows, with the score at 9:9 before Flensburg was able to briefly pull away. But Leipzig did not allow themselves to be discouraged and fought back, so that at halftime the score was only 19:17 for the hosts.

A thrilling fight until the last minute

After the half-time break, Leipzig continued their fighting spirit and equalized in the 36th minute. Viggó Kristjánsson even took the lead, which fueled hopes of a sensation. But in the last ten minutes of the game, Leipzig's strength waned and Flensburg took advantage of this opportunity to pull away with an impressive seven-goal run. Despite the final score, Leipzig's performance will remain in the memory because they sold themselves dearly and can go into the international break with a lot of positivity. Andri Rúnarsson scored the final goal of the game, but the question remains: what would have been possible if Leipzig had been at full strength?
