The hosts, who played very variably, increased their lead from 8:5 (17th minute) to 14:6 (22nd minute) in the space of just under five minutes.
The THC's intensity in defense dropped significantly in the second half. However, the home side found good solutions in attack at all times, with its play from the circle in particular leading to reliable success. As a result, the Thuringians extended their lead to the end.
