Hildesheim disappointed: five-goal lead lost in Plauen!

The new season for the third division handball teams has finally started, and the excitement was literally palpable on Saturday evening in the Kurt-Helbig-Halle in Plauen. HC Eintracht Hildesheim started as favorites against SV Plauen-Oberlosa, but had a bitter start and had to admit defeat 26:28. The team lost a five-goal lead and caused coach Daniel Deutsch to ponder the fighting performance of his protégés. As handball-world reports, the HCE was preparing to start the season with a success.

The start of the game was promising for Hildesheim. After Plauen scored the first goal, Hildesheim was quickly able to equalize. But the guests were still nervous. The first time-out came after just twelve minutes because the offensive didn't really want to get rolling, which was reflected in numerous technical errors and poor conversion of chances. "We just looked after the first twenty minutes. We can do better," commented Deutsch on the first minutes of the game, as did hceintracht-hildesheim.

Ups and downs throughout the game

SV Plauen-Oberlosa led 11:10 at halftime, the guests had to catch up defensively, but kept fighting their way back. After halftime they even took the lead for a while, but the team couldn't hold on for long. In the 45th minute, Plauen equalized to make it 18:18, ensuring a nerve-wracking final phase. When Hildesheim played with a double outnumbered team, the Plauen team consistently took advantage of their chance and ultimately secured victory with 28:26.

The number of spectators in the Kurt Helbig Hall was not particularly impressive at 445, but the atmosphere was tense and loud. Those who came into the hall were expecting an exciting game, but the Hildesheimers' disappointment at the defeat was written all over their faces. “We have to get over our own mistakes and concentrate on the next home game against the Füchse reserves,” said Deutsch.

Future challenges

The next game for Hildesheim is on Sunday at 5:00 p.m. in the Sparkasse Arena. “We need the support of our fans, especially now that we are under pressure,” said Deutsch. Tickets are already available via the ticket shop or in the office. At this early stage of the season, games like this are crucial to finding your own game. The risk of injury is also high in the handball Bundesliga, and the teams must be optimally prepared to tackle the challenges, as can be read on sportnachrichtenheute.

With a hopefully improved performance against the Jungfüchse Berlin next Sunday, HC Eintracht could show that they have learned from their defeat and can begin to catch up. It will be exciting to see how the team will develop in the coming period.
