The SC DHfK Leipzig handball team have suffered their third successive defeat in the Bundesliga. The team of coach Runar Sigtryggsson lost 31:32 (13:14) at VfL Gummersbach. Luca Witzke, Franz Semper and Andri Runarsson were the best scorers for SC DHfK, who finished twelfth, with seven goals apiece.
Three days after the 24:39 defeat in Kiel, Leipzig's efforts to make amends were clear to see. They started with a lot of energy, repeatedly opened up gaps in the center and were 6:4 ahead after ten minutes. However, the home side then adjusted better to Leipzig's backcourt. National player Julian Köster put VfL ahead for the first time at 10:9 (22nd minute). However, the visitors held on until the break, also because goalkeeper Kristian Saeveras confirmed his strong form with seven saves in the first half.
