For the SC DHfK Leipzig handball team, the air is getting thinner and thinner in the Bundesliga relegation battle. The team coached by Frank Carstens lost 33:36 (15:15) at TSV Hannover-Burgdorf and remains bottom of the table with 13:49 points. In front of 9,226 spectators, Matej Klima scored nine goals to become the best scorer for SC DHfK, which only has three games left to avoid relegation. "We firmly believe that we can still do it," said goalkeeper Tomas Mrkva on Dyn.
The club from Leipzig started confidently and developed a lot of penetration, especially through Matej Klima at the back. They led 5:2 after six minutes, but were unable to maintain this level. Hanover equalized for the first time midway through the first half (9:9). The substitution of goalkeeper Domenico Ebner for Tomas Mrkva, who had been hapless in the first half, gave the visitors a brief boost. Leipzig pulled three goals ahead again (15:12), but again squandered the lead after failing to score again in the following seven minutes.
