In the championship round of the Youth Bundesliga, the U19 of the Handball Sport Verein Hamburg suffered a home defeat for the first time because they had to admit defeat to SC DHfK Leipzig.

U19 starts weakly and gets back into the game by half time
From the kick-off, the U19 of the Handball Sport Verein Hamburg had a difficult time in the championship round game of the Youth Bundesliga against SC DHfK Leipzig. Right from the start, the Leipzig team went on a 4-0 run and fielded the team of youth coordinator and coach Sven Rusbült right in front of question marks. However, as the first half progressed, the HSVH U19s picked themselves up again and found their way into the game thanks to a stronger defense. The Hanseatic League even equalized in the 21st minute (7:7). Due to countless missed throws on both sides, the score remained at 9 goals per team until the half-time whistle, so the score was 9:9.
HSVH U19s cannot reward themselves with points in the second half
The U19 of the Handball Sport Club Hamburg came out of halftime with the clear motto of making better use of their own chances, avoiding unnecessary mistakes and appearing stronger in defense. The HSVH team only managed this temporarily, so that the Leipzig team was able to pull away again in the course of the second half. In the meantime, SC DHfK found its own game again and again and was able to pull away from the Hanseatic League goal by goal. Due to a total of four missed seven-meter penalties and the continued mixed use of opportunities, the HSVH U19 ultimately had to admit defeat 21:25 and thus suffered their first home defeat of the season.
