Bundesliga handball club ThSV Eisenach is still in the midst of a results crisis. The 29:31 (12:12) defeat at HSV Hamburg was the fifth defeat in a row for the team from Wartburg. The best scorers in front of 3,321 spectators were Marko Grgic from Eisenach and Frederik Bo Andersen from Hamburg with nine goals each.
The visitors once again played with an extremely offensive defense right from the start. At times, ThSV coach Misha Kaufmann had four players attack their opponents almost to the halfway line. In attack, the position of pivot remained vacant.
