SC Magdeburg has conceded its first point in the German Handball League. Less than 48 hours after the win at FC Barcelona, the team from the Elbe city did not manage to get past HC Erlangen 31:31 (11:16). Omar Ingi Magnusson was Magdeburg's best scorer with eleven goals.
Magnus Saugstrup was back in the SCM squad and initially sat on the bench. Magdeburg did not get off to a good start on court, missed a number of shots and trailed 2:5 in the 8th minute. The Red & Greens worked their way into the game, but failed too often against the former Magdeburg player Dario Quenstedt in goal to equalize (7:8/21st). Erlangen capitalized on several mistakes by Magdeburg to extend its lead before the break.
