Bundesliga handball team SC Magdeburg has reached the quarter-finals of the DHB Cup. The team from the Elbe city won 45:27 (23:11) at second-division team TV Großwallstadt. Magdeburg's top scorer was Philipp Weber with eight goals.
The favorites from Magdeburg got off to a focused start and led by three goals early on (4:1/5). Großwallstadt worked its way into the game, benefiting from the SCM's occasional lapses in concentration, but Magdeburg cut the deficit to 10:5 (13'). However, the club from the city on the Elbe still did not manage to take control of the game, losing possession and making technical mistakes too often. Consequently, SCM's Head Coach Bennet Wiegert called for "more intensity" in a timeout - and Magdeburg pulled away with an 8:2 run up to the break.
