Angry Lions! Rhein Neckar Lowen showed a great passion to win DKB Bundesliga after debacle at VELUX EHF Champions League TOP 16 and tight defeat at REWE DHB Cup semi-final against Flensburg last weekend by trashing Eisenach 36:19 in away match. It is never easy to do that against the team who is fighting to avoid relegation, but Gensheimer and Co. have only one goal – to win the Championship for the first time in the history of club from Mannheim.
The closest rival, THW Kiel beat TUS Lubbecke 28:26.
ThSV Eisenach – Rhein-Neckar Löwen 19:36 (10:17)
ThSV Eisenach: Verkic, Redwitz; Wöhler, Luther (2), Celica (2), Ragnarsson, Schliedermann, Hansen (4), Urban (1), Holzner (5/4), Koloper (1), Criciotoiu (3), Mackovsek (1)
Rhein-Neckar Löwen: Appelgren, Ristovski (bei einem Siebenmeter); Schmid (3), Gensheimer (12/2), Kneer, Mensah, Pekeler (2), Groetzki (3), Reinkind (3), Petersson (5), Ekdahl du Rietz (8)
