Madness in handball: catch -up game decides on the descent and cup!

Dessau-Roßlau, Deutschland - Last weekend the Champions League final should have crowned handball season, but the dampers came twice. In addition to sporting events, there are some dramatic developments in the second Bundesliga that cause excitement. In particular, the decision of the DHB Federal Court of restarting the game between Tusem Essen and Dessau-Roßlauer HV raises questions that could have far-reaching consequences for the clubs.

like Tag24, the HC Elbflorenz is in a strange Situation: Sports director Rico Göde decided not to protest against the evaluation of the game against Lübeck, in which a violation of the standard was not noticed. Seconds before the end, Paul Skorupa equalized, while Lübeck was on the field with eight players - a clear violation of the rules. Göde described the situation as suspect, which is why he waived an objection.

On the other hand, the explosive repetition game between Essen and Dessau is located, which must be held by June 30 at the latest. According to n-tv resulting from a game-decisive violation, the temporary and secretarily not noticed Dessau won the original game on April 27 with 28:27. This decision has immense consequences: In the event of a defeat in the catch -up game, Dessau could slide to the penultimate place from the 10th and thus descend. At the same time, a victory for Essen means a jump to 9th place and the opportunity to qualify for the DHB Cup.

The dramatic table is clearly shown: Essen is already saved than 16, while the ASV Hamm-Westfalen has the chance to keep the league should lose Dessau. Players and coaches of both teams also face logistical challenges, since many are already during the summer break or prepare for the U21 World Cup, which takes place from June 17th to 29th. This leads ASV Hamm-Westfalen to request the league on 19 teams.

The consequences for the league

The situation is particularly interesting due to the possibility that the repetition game could ultimately influence the entire events in the 2nd handball Bundesliga. Sport1 emphasizes that a victory for food could lead to the fact that Dessau-Roßlau falls back to a relegation zone. The decision of the DHB Federal Court showed a high probability for another game outcome, which makes the highly dramatic situation even more exciting. If Dessau loses, TV Großwallstadt could also get into the race for the DHB Cup-another example of how closely the fight for the places has become.

The upcoming games in the 2nd Bundesliga promise pure excitement in the remaining time until the end of June. Fans and players look at the last turn of an already exciting season with mixed feelings.
