BSV Sachsen have managed a liberating blow in the fight to stay in the league. The team from Halle, on the other hand, must tremble for their place in the Bundesliga after their ninth defeat in a row.

The handball players of BSV Sachsen Zwickau have taken a big step closer to staying in the Bundesliga. The team of coach Normen Rentsch decided the Central German derby against SV Union Halle-Neustadt 26:19 (16:8) in its favor on Saturday. After their ninth defeat in a row and a tough remaining program, the team from Halle is now deep in the relegation mire. Ema Hrvatin (8/2), Emma Montag (5) and Rita Lakatos (4/1) played the biggest part in the hosts' success. Cara Reuthal (7/3) and Emma Hertha (4) scored the most goals for SV Union Halle-Neustadt.

The players from Zwickau were always in the lead in this groundbreaking encounter. After going 4:3 ahead in the 9th minute, the home side opened up a 7:3 lead (15th minute) to eight goals by the break. BSV fed off this cushion until the final whistle. Halle fought its way back to 22:18 by the 56th minute, but was not able to put Zwickau under serious pressure. The visitors simply conceded too many turnovers and missed shots.
