10.12.2020, 08:45 MOTW REVIEW: After taking a maximum advantage of four goals, Flensburg had to wait until the last second to secure two points in Elverum |
||
Elverum and Flensburg were in completely different situations before tonight’s match. With six matches played, the Norwegian side were bottom of group A, having lost their last five games, including the first meeting in Flensburg (35:37). The visitors, on the other hand, had the opportunity to win their sixth game this season. Before travelling to Norway for today’s Match of the Week, SG were second in the group, two points behind leaders Kielce. But the German side travelled to Elverum without professional left-handers in the back-court, as Franz Semper and Magnus Rød remained at home after sustaining injuries. GROUP A
Torbjorn Bergerud: on top for his comeback in Norway Tonight was the first time Flensburg goalkeeper Torbjorn Bergerud had the opportunity to come and play in his homeland. If he struggled in the first 10 minutes, he then turned into Flensburg’s saviour. His seven consecutive saves gave his team the opportunity to break away on the scoreboard. And if his defence did not help him much in the last quarter of the game, Bergerud did not lose his concentration and managed to stop Dominik Mathe’s shot for the draw. TEXT: EHF / Kevin Domas |
