Strong defensive performance

However, this measure did not work at first. Fischer scored three times into Kiel's empty net.
Things only got better for Kiel after the break. Hendrik Pekeler tied the scores at 21:21 in the 35th minute. However, Hannover pulled away again thanks to strong saves by former THW goalkeeper Dario Quenstedt. Quenstedt made it 30:27 (50') with a shot across the entire court. TSV held on to this lead and celebrated only its third victory over Kiel. The best scorers were Vincent Büchner with eight goals for Hannover and Eric Johansson with seven for Kiel.
