DRHV celebrates victory in Coburg – HSC has no chance in the league!

Today, September 15, 2025, an exciting duel in the handball Bundesliga took place in the HUK-Coburg Arena. The Dessau-Roßlauer HV was finally able to celebrate an important away win and defeated HSC 2000 Coburg with 34:30 (16:17). Although Coburg initially led 14:9 in the 22nd minute, the DRHV managed to turn things around after the break and turn the tide in the guests' favor. Once again, the injury misery that also plagues the DRHV was revealed, as coach Vanja Radic had to do without several key players, including Mika Student, who sustained an ankle injury.

The number of spectators was a respectable 1,519. What was particularly noteworthy was that the two newcomers Sebastian Bialas and Niklas Döbbel celebrated their debut for the Dessau-Roßlauer HV. “Energy, determination and belief in ourselves were the keys to our success,” explained Coach Radic after the game. Janik Patzwaldt made crucial saves in goal, while Yannick Danneberg contributed significantly to the success with nine goals before the break.

Turnaround after halftime

After the break, the DRHV really got going and pulled ahead to 23:20 in the 42nd minute. Although Coburg was able to equalize in the meantime, a double strike from David Misovych gave them the decisive lead. Coburg's coach Anel Mahmutefendic, on the other hand, was not satisfied with his team's defensive performance and was critical. His team remains winless this season.

The general conditions of the game were also shaped by the referees Völkening and Zollitsch, who awarded a total of four penalty minutes for Dessau-Roßlau and two for Coburg. Such details are particularly important in a sports-intensive environment, where every minute counts and nerves are often tense to breaking point.
