The handball players of ThSV Eisenach are not able to get beyond the role of points suppliers in foreign halls. The Thuringians lost 27:33 (15:12) on Sunday at HSG Wetzlar, who are currently second last in the table, and conceded their ninth defeat in their ninth away game.
As a result, the charges of Head Coach Sebastian Hinze missed a great opportunity to pull away decisively from the relegation zone. Dominik Mappes (13 goals) and Philipp Ahouansou (9), who were unstoppable by the ThSV defense, played the biggest part in Wetzla's success. Oskar Joelsson (7/2) and Vincent Büchner (4) scored the most goals for the visitors.
In the first half, the game was completely evenly poised with several lead changes until 11:11 (23'). In its strongest spell, Eisenach pulled three goals ahead by the break, but had already squandered that lead twelve minutes after the restart. Wetzlar went 19:18 in front and pulled 24:22 (48') to 31:26 (58'). The visitors made too many technical mistakes in attack and were unable to find a way to turn the game around after trailing.
