SC Magdeburg delivers another commanding performance in the German Handball League. Hosts Melsungen only keep up for one half, after the break Magdeburg creates a clear situation early on.

Just two days after the hard-fought away point in the Champions League, SC Magdeburg delivered a gala performance in the Bundesliga. The team from the city on the Elbe won 34:23 (15:11) at MT Melsungen. Felix Claar was the best SCM scorer with eleven goals.

Magdeburg's Elvar Örn Jonsson was back in the squad for the first time since his injury at the European Championships and Omar Ingi Magnusson also returned to the team. The game was intense right from the start, with Melsungen trying to keep Magdeburg out of the close-range zone with its fighting and offensive cover - but SCM gained a slight advantage (6:4/11th). Although not everything went right for the club from the city on the Elbe, it pulled four goals ahead by the break.

Magdeburg produced a 9:1 run after the break

After the restart, SCM missed Melsungen's empty goal twice from long range, but Melsungen was not able to use that to reduce the deficit (17:13/37th minute). MT played a lot with a seventh outfield player and was thus vulnerable in defense when Magdeburg picked up the pace. SCM stretched its lead to eleven goals with a 9:1 run, as the home side failed to score anything in offense for several minutes (27:16/47). Melsungen was no longer able to counter, Magdeburg played consistently until the final minutes and gained self-confidence for the Champions League clash against FC Barcelona on Thursday.
