SC Magdeburg has won its third Bundesliga home game of the season. The score was 31:24 (16:11) against Frischauf Göppingen in front of 6,569 spectators on Monday evening. Magdeburg's top scorer was Omar Ingi Magnusson with seven goals. The SCM has thus moved closer to the top group again and has collected one point more than league leaders Flensburg. The two teams face each other in Flensburg on Saturday.
Magdeburg opened up a small lead early on, but were unable to increase the gap. After just under ten minutes, SCM brought on Sergey Hernandez for the somewhat hapless Nikola Portner in goal. That had the desired effect, as Magdeburg pulled three goals ahead (10:7/12th). SCM extended its lead up to the break, but left a lot to chance.
SCM's defense impressed
Shortly after the break, Philipp Weber made his first appearance since his injury. He replaced Gisli Kristjansson when the Icelander needed treatment. Magdeburg's defense continued to stand up well, in particular the middle block with Magnus Saugstrup and Oscar Bergendahl worked well. As a result, SCM increased its lead to eight goals (22:14/43). Rutger ten Velde was shown the red card after a foul on Albin Lagergren (45'). Magdeburg increased its lead to ten goals and decided the game (26:16/47th).
