Flensburg (AP) - The handball players of the SG Flensburg-Handewitt have brought back the league lead in the Bundesliga.
The hosting team from Flensburg won the 104th Schleswig-Holstein Derby against THW Kiel with 31:28 (17:15) and pushed the "Zebras" (33: 5) back from the top position with 34: 4 points.
The SG's best thrower was left winger Hampus Wanne with ten hits.
Backcourt player Sander Sagosen was successful nine times for THW.
Both teams went into the top game with a weakened replacement.
Goalkeeper Niklas Landin was absent from THW due to a corona quarantine as did his Danish national team colleagues Mads Mensah Larsen and Simon Hald on the SG side.

It took a few minutes for the game to pick up speed.
The Kiel benefited in the initial phase from some mistakes and lack of concentration on the part of the hosts.
Göran Sögard Johannesen hit the crossbar in a counter-attack.
A little later Johannes Golla failed at the post.
It helped that THW goalkeeper Dario Quenstedt did not find his form.
After a good 20 minutes, 42-year-old Mattias Andersson came between the posts.
In the 33rd minute, Sögard Johannessen increased to 18:15 for the SG.
THW coach Filip Jicha now relied on the seventh field player, which Golla punished with the goal to 21:17 (40th) in the empty guest goal.
Jim Gottfridsson even increased to 22:17 (41st).
With his 30:27 (58th) and a time penalty against Domagoj Duvnjak, the Swede ensured the preliminary decision of the extremely clever Flensburg team.
