SC Magdeburg is keeping up the pressure on the top duo in the German Handball League, Füchse Berlin and MT Melsungen. The defending champions won their last catch-up game at bottom club 1. VfL Potsdam 37:23 (18:8). Magdeburg remains third, Potsdam is thus finally relegated. Magdeburg's best scorers were Omar Magnusson with eleven goals and Gisli Kristjansson with six.
The visitors took the initiative from the outset and went straight into the lead. They were very compact in defense, but also had an easy game against very harmless hosts. SCM keeper Sergey Hernandez had no problems with many embarrassing shots.
