The handball players of SC DHfK Leipzig have narrowly missed their second win in a row in the Bundesliga. The team of coach Runar Sigtryggsson had to settle for a 25:25 (15:14) draw at TSV Hannover-Burgdorf on Friday night in a match that was full of fight. Before 4973 spectators advanced Matej climate and Viggo Kristjansson with in each case seven goals to the best throwers of the SC DHfK, which ranks with 8:12 points further on place ten.
Six days after the 35:34 home victory against Kiel the Leipziger began confidently. In particular, Klima was initially unstoppable and contributed four goals to the 7:3 lead of the guests after ten minutes. After a timeout by Christian Prokop, who had coached SC DHfK between 2013 and 2017, the Hannoverians also found their rhythm in attack. The Leipzigers nevertheless maintained their lead for a long time, but scored only one more goal in the last seven minutes before the break, so that the hosts could reduce to one goal.
In the 38th minute, Hannover managed the 17:17 equalizer, but the guests, who had an outstanding support in goalkeeper Kristian Saeveras (14 saves), found the right answer and led again in the 52nd minute with 23:21. In the final phase, the hosts had more to do and scored 33 seconds before the end for the 25:25 equalizer. The last Leipzig attack fizzled out.
