Dessau-Roßlau ensures relegation: dramatic 28:23 victory in Essen!

Dessau-Roßlau, Deutschland - An exciting handball game did not fail to materialize in the repeat game between TuSEM Essen and Dessau-Roßlauer HV 06. On June 29, 2025, both teams met again, and the fans in the arena on the hello were able to experience a gripping duel with full utilization of 1,926 spectators. In the end, the DRHV prevailed with 28:23 and secured the relegation for the second time this season. The pressure was high for the Dessauer, because a loss would have meant the descent into the 3rd division, which the team remained in the back of the head.

The game started at a rapid pace. Although the guests from Dessau had to miss some players, including several top performers, the team of coach Uwe Jungandreas remained concentrated. They took the lead early and developed a comfortable lead. So the halftime score was 18:14 for Dessau. Above all, the strong defensive performance ensured that food found little space to build up the game. In the 45th minute Dessau already led 25:17 and pushed the hosts on the defensive.

The course of the game

In the first few minutes, Dessau defensive caused pressure. Already in the 11th minute, the guests were good there thanks to a double parade from Keeper Plaue. An early catch -up of the Esseners, who were missing with nine regular players, repeatedly failed due to the well -organized lines of defense of the guests, who led with four goals in both the 18th and 24th minute.

The exciting final phase of the game experienced a highlight in the 57th minute when the score was fixed with 23:28 in favor of Dessau. Dessau also demonstrated his nerve strength in the last phase and did not let himself be disturbed, although food tried to get everything to get back. A forgiven shot from Eißing in the 58th minute, which only hit the post, was the last glimmer of hope.

The relevance of the game

According to the judgment of the DHB Federal Court, which ordered the repetition of the game between Tusem Essen and Dessau-Roßlauer HV, the drama was particularly high. Many fans remembered the currently unclear Situation in the league and some showed banners who reminded a quote from the HBL managing director Frank Bohmann. The unrest for the league events and the application of the DRHV to increase the 2nd Bundesliga on 19 teams buzzed through the press in advance.

The focus was on sporting performance, but the problems away from the field remain an issue. The difficulty for the team became particularly clear due to the missing players at Tusem Essen who returned after the U21 World Cup. Coach Daniel Haase admitted to having mixed feelings regarding the appointment of the game, but was very focused on the encounter.

Overall, the game was not only crucial for the table, but also a real spectacle for the fans. The focus remains on the relegation and the relegation teams in the league, and developments of this season are trembled. After all, the repetition game provided clarity and brought important points for Dessau, who have now consolidated their place in the 2nd handball Bundesliga.
