SC Magdeburg dominates GOG Håndbold and remains undefeated in the CL!

An exciting chapter in the Champions League group phase will come to an end on October 8, 2025. SC Magdeburg impressively prevailed against GOG Håndbold and won the home game 39:30. After a thrilling match, SC Magdeburg is continuing its unbeaten series in the Champions League and remains high in the group phase.

The course of the game was characterized by intense moments. GOG Håndbold, which was in the lead until shortly before half-time, initially appeared strong and equalized to 8:8 in the 16th minute. But SC Magdeburg managed to get back in front in the 24th minute. With a double strike shortly before the break, we finally went into the locker room with a score of 18:16. The Magdeburg keeper Mandić, who stood out with a total of eleven saves, played a key role in the success.

Strong second section

SC Magdeburg really got going in the second half. GOG Håndbold started unfocused and immediately missed their first attacks. Magdeburg took advantage of the opportunity and extended the lead to 20:16 in the 32nd minute. An outstanding 7-0 run in the final phase (35:24 in the 52nd minute) finally set the course for victory for coach Bennet Wiegert's team. GOG Håndbold was no longer able to prevail decisively in the final phase and only achieved cosmetic results.
The best scorers were Omar Ingi Magnusson, who scored eleven goals, and the team showed a remarkable team performance throughout the entire game.

Current situation of the two teams

With this victory, SC Magdeburg consolidated their lead in the group and even made the three-time Champions League winners look in a positive light. However, the next opponent in the league will be the challenging Bergische HC, followed by an important Champions League duel against Pick Szeged. GOG Håndbold, on the other hand, currently only has two points in the Champions League group and is in fourth place in the Danish league. Despite a first win against RK Pelister, they had to admit defeat against FC Barcelona and Pick Szeged.

Coach Kasper Christensen will have to motivate his charges in the coming weeks to capitalize on the remaining games. The team urgently needs a win to maintain their chances of progressing in the Champions League. While the people of Magdeburg can be happy, GOG Håndbold now has to get going again in the league and make the next games better.

The next highlight for the Magdeburgers is within reach, while GOG Håndbold faces the challenge of proving itself. The signs have been set and we can look forward to seeing how the league and the Champions League group phase develop.
