Kiel (AP) - The handball players of the THW Kiel are in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
The defending champion won the second leg of the round of 16 against the Hungarian representative Pick Szeged on Wednesday in his own hall with 33:28 (18:15).
The "Zebras" had already won the first leg with 33:28.
The best throwers in the second duel were Sander Sagosen with nine goals for Kiel and Bogdan Radivojevic with seven goals for Szeged.
The Hungarians started courageously, leading 5: 3 in the ninth minute.
The Kiel counterattacked with five hits in a row and got the game visibly better under control.

Progress was thus assured.
Ten minutes before the end, the THW reservists came into action.
