Handball Bundesliga team SG Flensburg-Handewitt suffered a loss in their last home match. Just four days after winning in the European League, the team under coach Nicolej Krickau was defeated by VfL Gummersbach with a score of 28:34 (15:15). Emil Jakobsen, who scored nine goals, was the leading player for SG Flensburg in the sold-out Campushalle with 6,300 spectators. Milos Vujovic hit eight goals, contributing to VfL's success on the penultimate matchday. This puts VfL in a strong position for starting in the European Cup next season.
In the third-placed home team, the lead of 12:9 in the 21st minute didn't provide much security. The Gummersbach players, who had recently defeated THW Kiel 40:29, paved the way towards victory with a quick start to the second half, taking a 18:15 (34th minute) lead. VfL's advantage increased to seven goals. Despite 15 saves made by goalie Kevin Möller, Flensburg was unable to resurrect the game.
After the game, the SG's backcourt players Teitur Einarsson (going to Gummersbach next season) and Boris Zivkovic (unknown destination) were given a fond farewell. In their last matchday, the SG will face Bergisches HC on Sunday (3:30 p.m./Dyn).
