ThSV Eisenach suffered its second defeat in a row and once again missed out on important points in the relegation battle. The Bundesliga handball club lost 24:26 (14:15) against VfL Gummersbach in the Werner-Aßmann-Halle at home. The league's top scorer, Manuel Zehnder, was once again the best scorer with ten goals in front of 2794 spectators. Milos Vujovic was shown a red card.
The visitors from Gummersbach then came out of the break much stronger and took a three-goal lead in the 36th minute. However, Milos Vujovic had to leave the court in the 39th minute due to a red card, which enabled the club from Wartburg to close the gap to 19:20. One particular factor in VfL's play in the second half was goalkeeper Daniel Rebmann, who saved almost every second ball. That and a slightly better shooting percentage enabled Gummersbach to secure victory.
