HSV Weimar collects painful defeat: coach Heerwald disappointed!

Weimar. The HSV Weimar experienced a bitter setback in the top division on Saturday evening! In a dramatic duel against promoted HSG Saalfeld/Könitz, the team had to give up 33:32 and thus conceded the first defeat of the season. Coach André Heerwald sat down on the bench, while the disappointment in the Asbachhalle was noticeable.

"It was not our best day, but what the referees organized today makes me stunned! The boys gave everything, and then they are brought to the reward for their efforts," complained Heerwald. The game started difficult for Weimar; The guests from Saalfeld initially took the lead 4-2. But the home team fought back and established a tie. But the turning point came after 20 minutes when Weimar's captain Tom Germer was hit by the opposing keeper on the face at the throw and the referees mistakenly gave him a time penalty - the hall raged before!

controversy and difficulties

"I understand the displeasure of the Weimarer," said Stephen Engelhardt, the coach of Saalfeld. But at least he admitted that his team deserved the victory. "The referees shook off warded attacks and do not punish any violent defending enough," added Heerwald, who stayed in the head for his players. The game remained exciting until the last minute, but when the Weimar fell back at 27:32 in the last few minutes, the chance of a turn was scarce.

Despite the defeat, Weimar is 7: 3 points in third place in the table. But the upcoming games against Jena and Mühlhausen will be a real challenge. "We are outsiders, and if we don't be careful, our point account could quickly falter! But we will give everything to annoy these teams!" Said Heerwald combative.
