At halftime, Bergische HC went into the locker room with a lead of 19:14. Eloy Morante Maldonado, who started the new season impressively, scored three goals. The game was particularly challenging for Bielefeld as new signing Jonas Leppich was shown a red card for an unintentional hit in the face.

But the Bergische HC didn't let themselves be disturbed and were even able to extend their lead to five goals before half-time.

The course of the game
