Before the finals, Bennet weighed the still fresh memories of the lost League home game against the THW on March 26th awake. "Kiel impressed us over 60 minutes with a strong mindset," said Magdeburg's coach.

Similarly focused as before a month ago, the record cup winner (eleven title, 15. final participation) went into the game. The credo, simple ball losses to minimize the tempo game of the Bundesliga leader not even further, followed the team of Coach Filip Jicha. The "Zebras" brought a significant more aggressive defense before 13,200 spectators than in the semi-finals on the parquet and thus stopped the SCM after ten minutes at two lean goals.

Landins quote early over 40 percent

World Handball Niklas Landin, in the semi-finals already the crucial factor against the TBV Lemgo Lippe, ran early on. The respect for the Danish THW loser was to note the Magdeburgers. Eight parades in the first half in a fishing rate of over 42 percent are testimony. Sagosen built the lead in the lower-mentioned at 9: 6 (20.), before the SCM took the heart in the hand. With a 5-0 run, weighed team crafted back into the game, making the previously restrained Magdeburger fans again fully there.

At least before the break, the referee Fabian Baumgart and Sascha Wild, who did not find a clear line and was not overwhelmed. Jicha looked yellow for a loud complaint before the break (27th). How much was on the game, the seconds after the 13: 12 pause level for the SCM made clear: a small packing on the field followed word hunts on the way to the cabin - Magdeburg's Bezjak was attracted with some THW fans.

After the side change it remained gripping: with Magnusson, Bundesliga scorer of the preseason, on Magdeburg side as well as sagoses at THW tried the two outstanding figures to direct the game in their direction.

In the defense of Emotional Leader Wiencek, who continuously housed the Kiel fans, kept Kiel step and went back to the 22nd minute at the 18:17 for the first time since the 22nd minute (41.). As a circular pekeler, the Magdeburg could hold much too rare in chess, raised twelve minutes before the end on three goals and weighed his timeout card, seemed a small preliminary decision (22:19).

Jicha, even a defender of world-class format, whipped his team on the sideline and sighted.

At 26:20 from right Ekberg in the 56th minute, the last doubts were cleared on the twelfth cup title of the THW.

The SCM, who missed his third DHB Cup after 1996 and 2016, became a long period of weakness after the break - between the 48th and 58th minute without our own gate - fatal. For the Magdeburg now "only" still two titles remain: The in the Bundesliga (last in 2001) and the in the European League.
