Match too short: Leipzig appeals against defeat

Six seconds were missing. This is the view of those responsible for the Leipzig handball team after the game in Eisenach. That is why there is an extension in court.

Handball Bundesliga - Match too short: Leipzig appeals against defeat

SC DHfK Leipzig has lodged a protest against the scoring of the game at ThSV Eisenach. This was confirmed by Karsten Günther, manager of the Bundesliga club, on Monday. "A handball game lasts 60 minutes. Net playing time. The game on Friday only lasted 59:54 minutes. Six seconds were missing," said Günther. The Handball Bundesliga sports court must now decide on the matter. If Leipzig is found to be right, a replay is possible.

Eisenach had defeated SC DHfK 25:24 on Friday evening. Leipzig took a time-out with 58:49 minutes left on the clock, but when the game resumed, the clock apparently stood at 58:55 minutes. Leipzig managed to equalize with the last attack, but it was scored shortly after the final buzzer and therefore did not count.

"Anyone who watched the end of the game saw that, with one or two seconds more on the clock, we would have had a realistic chance of going out with a draw," said Günther. The manager had also informed the Thuringians of this move and emphasized that it was not a personal matter.
