TSV Hannover Burgdorf Takes the Lead as Melsungen Crumbles in Hamburg

The home team celebrated with a 42:32 victory, further complicating the battle at the top of the strongest league in the world. TSV Hannover-Burgdorf took full advantage of this by winning away against Rhein-Neckar Löwen with a score of 36:35 to claim the number one position.
