SC Magdeburg tries to win two points in Balingen

SC Magdeburg Fights for Two Points in Balingen

The team called the “Gauls” played very well at home. Their two big wins at the start of the Opel Handball Bundesliga were not by chance. They played strong in both attack and defense. The team that moved up to this league showed a lot of confidence. But SC Magdeburg (SCM) had a hard time starting the game.

After five minutes, both teams scored two goals each. Then, Magdeburg began to fall behind. They made bad passes and their defense was weak. This made the score 6-8 at the 11th minute. Coach Bennet Wiegert talked to his team during a break, but the game stayed hard. HBW scored again to make it 6-9 at the 13th minute.

Gisli Kristjansson scored for Magdeburg to make it 8-9 in the 17th minute. But Balingen scored to make it 13-10 in the 25th minute. The game had many ups and downs. At one point, Magdeburg was behind by four goals (14-10 at the 27th minute). Still, SCM closed the gap to 15-13 by half-time and felt better going into the break.

After the break, Magnus Saugstrup scored first for Magdeburg to make it 14-15. Kristjansson tied the game at 16-16 in the 35th minute. Even when Magdeburg had fewer players for a short time, they kept fighting. At 40 minutes, they were behind 17-19.

This was a very physical game. Oskar Vind scored from the right side to make it 20-20 at the 43rd minute. Then Kristjansson scored again to give SCM the lead at 23-22 in the 46th minute. Matthias Musche made it 24-22 at the 48th minute, giving Magdeburg their first two-goal lead.

But the game was not over. At the 50th minute, the score was tied again at 25-25. The game stayed exciting until the last seconds. Magdeburg won the game with a last-minute goal by Albin Lagergren. They took the two points.
