Flensburg-Handewitt Suffer Defeat in Important German Bundesliga Match

With success within reach and with only eleven seconds left on the clock, right wing Lasse Svan Hansen, only managed to meet the aluminium post with his final attempt at goal. For SG Flensburg-Handewitt it was the last chance. It was TBV Lemgo it who celebrated victory.

“For the moment we are not number two behind THW Kiel“, said Flensburg’s Coach Kent Harry Andersson. “That is the TBV Lemgo.” The West German team is still four points behind the still unbeaten THW Kiel. Magdeburg is third, Flensburg fourth.

The bitter disappointment of Oscar Carlén was undeniable, as he slumped to the ground in defeat. There seemed to be two pivotal moments replaying in the heads of the players, the key moments, where victory and defeat hung in the balance: the team was in the lead three minutes prior to the final whistle, playing in the majority, 28:27. Carlén made an attempt at goal, which was deflected by Lemgo’s goalkeeper Martin Galia. And two minutes later, with bith team neck and neck –29:29 – the young Swede botched a pass, Florian Kehrmann intercepted and Martin Strobel scored for Lemgo. Markus Baur, TBV Coach has to laugh, “In the end, we made an error less and therefore won “.

The possibility and the chances for SG Flenbsburg’s and former TBV player Lasse Boesen were readily available. The Danish back player had a few great playing streaks in the 20^th and 45^th minutes, Boesen scored seven times. However, in the last phase of game Kent Harry Andersson put Lasse Boesen on the bench. Boesen was still not 100% fit after recovering from the injury to his foot. The 30-year-old player said “regardless of scoring seven goals, because of some of the errors, I am not completely satisfied.”
