Without two top players, the Thuringian Bundesliga handball team struggled for a long time against Buxtehude. Only a spurt in the second half put them on course.

The women's handball team of Thüringer HC has notched up its fifth successive win in the German league.

The game remained evenly poised up to 17:17 in the 39th minute, before the home side stepped up the pace and goalkeeper Laura Kuske also got into the game better and better. As a result, they produced a 7:1 run to pull 24:18 ahead in the 52nd minute.
