Berlin - Handball: Füchse Berlin win confidently in Wetzlar

The Füchse Berlin have taken over the top spot in the German Handball League, at least temporarily. The team from the capital won 36:30 (18:15) at HSG Wetzlar on Friday evening. However, SC Magdeburg can overtake them again on Sunday. Berlin's best scorer was Mathias Gidsel with eight goals. Hans Lindberg scored five. The Dane is now just two goals short of becoming the first player to break the 3,000 mark in the all-time scoring list.

Coach Jaron Siewert had to make do without backcourt player Matthes Langhoff at short notice after he injured his ankle in Chambéry on Tuesday and will therefore be out for the time being. Nevertheless, Berlin got off to a good start, stood compactly in defense and only conceded a few goals. Wetzlar only scored its first goal after more than five minutes, when the Foxes were already leading 5:0.

However, they then lost their way. Too many missed shots and turnovers and an increasingly patchy defense brought the home side back into the game. The lead was almost gone after 18 minutes (11:10). It was thanks to keeper Dejan Milosavljev that they were able to hold on to the lead at the break.

However, Berlin came out of the locker room more focused and extended its lead to seven goals after 39 minutes (25:18). Wetzlar countered with a lot of physicality. Rasmus Meyer Ejlersen was shown the red card in the 48th minute after a violent foul on Gidsel. The Foxes then took the lead to the finish line with aplomb.
