Eisenach's Bundesliga handball team held its own for much of a hard-fought match against HC Erlangen, but ultimately suffered a decisive loss after giving up an 0-8 run late in the game.

The ThSV Eisenach handball team remains winless on the road this Bundesliga season. Coach Sebastian Hinze’s team lost to HC Erlangen 19–28 (11–14). David Móré was ThSV’s top scorer with four goals; the team now stands at 3:9 points.

Eisenach initially struggled to get into the game. Their offense was too static, and they fell behind 3:7 by the middle of the first half. After that, the visitors picked up the pace significantly and closed the gap again, before a slump shortly before halftime led to a deficit at the break.

Eisenach came out of the locker room with a lot of energy and tied the score at 16:16 (38th minute). Subsequently, numerous one-on-one battles and interruptions disrupted the flow of the game. For the Thuringians, backcourt player Jannis Schneibel made his comeback midway through the second half after nearly two years on the injured list, but he was unable to provide his team with the necessary stability. Erlangen played far more efficiently and, after a final 8-0 run against a stunned Eisenach team, ended up winning by a wide margin.
