Kiel (dpa / lno) - The handball players at THW Kiel keep up with their northern rivals and Bundesliga leaders SG Flensburg-Handewitt.
With 32:22 (18: 7) over HSG Nordhorn-Lingen, Kiel, who played two games less than Flensburg, improved to second place in the table on Saturday with 27: 3 points for at least 24 hours.
The zebra's best thrower was Patrick Wiencek with eight hits.
Pavel Mickal scored five goals for Lower Saxony.
The THW laid the foundation for victory with a concentrated defensive effort.
The weakened guests found hardly a means against the Kiel defensive in the position attack in front of a well-disposed Niklas Landin in goal.
The Dane, who extended his contract to 2025 on Friday, fended off three seven meters and seven more throws from the Nordhorns before the break.
So the game was already decided with Rune Dahmke's fast-paced strike at 17: 7 (27th minute).
Because of the upcoming Olympic qualification, THW, which had to play seven games in just under two weeks after its corona quarantine, now has eleven days off.
The defending champion's away game against the bottom of the table HSC 2000 Coburg will not continue until March 17th.
