28.10.2021, 10:45 GROUP B REVIEW: The German side are back in contention for a play-off berth after beating Motor 34:27 to earn their first win this season |
||
A slew of injuries derailed SG Flensburg-Handewitt’s start to the season, both in the EHF Champions League Men and the German Bundesliga, but the German powerhouse look back in business after a 34:27 win on Thursday evening against HC Motor. GROUP B
Rusty Flensburg are still working out their game In 17 seasons played in the EHF Champions League Men, Flensburg never had to wait more than two games to earn their first win in the group phase. This season, however, the German powerhouse were hit by a flurry of injuries and did not earn their first win until the sixth round. Important backs Mads Mensah Larsen and Jim Gottfridsson are still finding their form, but Flensburg were saved by Hampus Wanne and Icelandic right back Teitur Örn Einarsson, who scored seven times against Motor. This is only the beginning for Flensburg, who will need to capitalise on this win in their next two games against C.S. Dinamo Bucuresti. TEXT: EHF / Adrian Costeiu |
