Replay: TUSEM Essen fights for the DHB Cup!
Dessau-Roßlau faces a crucial replay against TUSEM Essen on June 29th, which could decide whether they are relegated.
Replay: TUSEM Essen fights for the DHB Cup!
On April 27, 2025, a handball game was played that provided plenty of material for discussion. TUSEM Essen and Dessau-Roßlau met each other. Surprisingly, Dessau-Roßlau won the game 28:27, despite having one man too many on the field in the final seconds. This wrong decision by the timekeeper and the secretary caused massive doubts about the accuracy of the game scoring. TUSEM Essen did not allow itself to be discouraged and filed an objection within the deadline, which initially failed before the Federal Sports Court. However, there was a twist: On June 11, 2025, the Federal Court of the German Handball Federation (DBH) overturned the previous ruling and ordered a replay, which is now to take place on June 29, 2025.
The decision on the replay not only has a sporting impact, but also has a significant impact on the question of relegation in the 2nd Handball Bundesliga. If TUSEM Essen wins the game, the club would rise from 16th place to 9th place and thus qualify for the DHB Cup. In contrast, a defeat could see Dessau relegated to 17th place, which would significantly complicate the club's fate. A draw would satisfy both clubs in their respective goals and have a direct impact on ASV Hamm-Westfalen, who could stay in the league next season with a win for Essen. The ASV is proposing to increase the league to 19 clubs in order to clarify the situation from the past season, but not every club is in favor of it. The discussion about this continues lively, while some clubs, such as the HBW, reject this idea.
Organizational hurdles and player availability
The replay will kick off at 5:00 p.m. in the “Am Hallo” sports park in Essen. A demanding task lies ahead for the referees Robert Schulze and Tobias Tönnies, who are supported by Frank Böllhoff and the referee jury. However, there are also organizational hurdles to overcome. Many players are currently on vacation, which puts their participation in the game in question. The availability of Tillman Leu in particular could be at risk, which would be a major setback for TUSEM.
Logistics are a headache for both teams: some players may have to cancel their vacations, causing not only emotional stress but also financial issues. In addition, Dessau-Roßlauer HV may have to withdraw players like Fritz Haake from the U21 national team, which could jeopardize their participation in the U21 World Cup in Poland. Handball World reports on these difficult circumstances as time runs out and the replay draws closer.
Conclusion: A new attempt
The replay is not only a sporting challenge, but also a human challenge that will strain the nerves of players, coaches and fans. The outcome of this game could not only influence the course of the current season, but also significantly shape the future of the clubs involved. On June 29, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. it will be decided whether the fate of TUSEM Essen or Dessau-Roßlau gets a new twist. The Daily Mirror emphasizes the urgency and far-reaching consequences of this game, while excitement is in the air and fans can look forward to an exciting evening of handball.
Whether the clubs can adapt to the new circumstances remains to be seen, and so an exciting and crucial day lies ahead for everyone involved. Sports picture follows this event closely and will document every step in advance.
