Göppingen (AP) - THW Kiel has taken the lead in the handball Bundesliga.
The defending champion prevailed with 31:25 (16:12) at HC Erlangen and benefited from the 28:28 (15:15) of the previous leader SG Flensburg-Handewitt at Frisch Auf Göppingen.
In the table, both teams are at 47: 5 points.
However, both the better goal difference and the direct comparison gained speak for the «zebras».
The Kielers, who had to do without the Norwegian Sander Sagosen due to an infection, had a hard time getting into the game.
After a 3: 6 (10th) playmaker Domagoj Duvnjak took over the command and led the North Germans to a four-goal lead until the break.
Even after changing sides, the “zebras” did not give in.
With a double strike, left winger Magnus Landin increased to 21:14 (36th) and made the decision early.

After a 15:12 lead (26th), Flensburg managed only one goal for almost 16 minutes.
With an energetic performance, the SG came after a 16:22 (41st) to 28:27 (59th).
Marcel Schiller made it a fair draw with a seven-meter throw.
In the table basement, the situation for HSC 2000 Coburg and TuSEM Essen is becoming more and more precarious.
Bottom of the list Coburg lost its home game against TSV Hannover-Burgdorf with 26:33 (12:17), the penultimate from Essen had to admit defeat to Bergischer HC with 22:32 (9:15).
TBV Lemgo-Lippe won 27:21 (16:11) at HSG Wetzlar.
