Kiel (dpa / lno) - The first half was problematic, the second then almost flawless: The handball players of THW Kiel showed two faces in their 35:29 away win over TSV Hannover-Burgdorf.
"We all prefer to be there from the start, but we're happy that we showed morale and won," said backcourt player Steffen Weinhold after the final whistle.
The weakened Lower Saxony, where six players were missing on Saturday evening after a corona quarantine, surprised the "zebras" with the seventh field player in the attack.
But the people of Kiel also made life difficult for themselves: “In the first five minutes we had the ball in our hands twice and we threw it away lightly.
During the time-out I was a little angry because I had imagined it differently ”, said Kiel's coach, who had already drawn the green card after ten minutes, after the game.
By then the Czech had calmed down again.
"We only make technical mistakes, my face," he had broken out in the match.
The fact that things went much better in the second half was mainly due to Sander Sagosen.
The Norwegian took the reins in hand and led the Kiel team, who now played almost flawlessly, to their 21st victory in their 24th duel with Hanover.
"Sander is already an exceptional player, he has to be singled out today," said Hanover national player Fabian Böhm.
The “Zebras” will continue on Thursday (7:00 p.m. / Sky).
The Bergische HC will be a guest in the Kiel Arena.
