Despite a clear and curious breach of the rules, second-division handball club HC Elbflorenz Dresden has decided not to appeal against the scoring of the game at VfL Lübeck-Schwartau. The home side had scored the equalizer to make the final score 33:33 shortly before the end when a total of eight players from their team were on court. The referees and the court did not notice the infringement.
"However, we have not lodged an appeal against the scoring, as it is not an option for us to play a full replay. That would have been the consequence in this case," said Rico Göde, Sporting Director of HC Elbflorenz Dresden.
