SC Magdeburg celebrates a confident 34:28 home win against Eisenach!

An exciting handball game was played in the Getec Arena in Magdeburg on September 3, 2025, which the hosts won with a clear 34:28 win against ThSV Eisenach. In front of 6,600 spectators, the two teams played a thrilling game that was particularly characterized by the performances of individual players. The best thrower for SC Magdeburg was Omar Ingi Magnusson, who contributed significantly to the success with eight goals, while Max Beneke for Eisenach kept his team in the game with ten goals.

The game started brilliantly for the hosts, who were already leading 7-3 in the 11th minute. This strong start quickly led to a first time out for Eisenach, which coach Sebastian Hinze took to refocus his players. Although Beneke was able to score a few goals, the Magdeburg team remained dominant. At halftime it was 17:10 and Magdeburg had a hit rate of almost 90%, while Eisenach had difficulties with the hosts' offensive defense. diesachsen.de reports that Magdeburg had a clear advantage in the first half.

Interplay between halves

With the start of the second half, Eisenach tried to quickly reduce the deficit, which they achieved with a goal in the 36th minute - the score was 20:14. SC Magdeburg, under the leadership of coach Bennet Wiegert, used goalkeeper Matej Mandic for long periods, but the defensive weaknesses in the second half were criticized by Wiegert. Although the guests were able to win the second half 18:17, the deficit from the first half was too big to significantly change the outcome of the game.

For SC Magdeburg it was already the second win in the second game of the season, a good omen for the challenges ahead. On Saturday the Magdeburgers will face the champions from Berlin, while Eisenach will face the team from Melsungen on Sunday. Both teams face important tasks that could have a significant impact on the rest of the season. sportschau.de emphasizes that before this game, the spectators also remembered the late Harry Jahns, a former SCM player, with a minute's silence.

Particularly noteworthy is the performance of Magnusson, whose goals gave the team a decisive advantage. But it remains to be seen whether SC Magdeburg can be more stable defensively in the next games. In view of the upcoming challenges, an improvement in defense is required in order to be successful against stronger opponents. You can also find more information about this game on kicker.de.
