Overview
- Füchse Berlin beat Dinamo Bukarest 32:31 in the Champions League, with Tobias Grøndahl converting a last-second seven-metre awarded on video review after a foul on Mijajlo Marsenic.
- The result keeps Berlin unbeaten and top of Group A, as Mathias Gidsel, honored pre-match as last season’s MVP, led scoring with 11 goals despite a night of missed chances.
- Coach Nicolej Krickau acknowledged poor finishing and defensive lapses but framed the narrow victory as confidence-building in a crowded early-season schedule.
- In the Bundesliga, newly promoted Bergischer HC defeated HSG Wetzlar 35:28 for their first league win after six straight losses, pulling away after halftime behind eight goals each from Noah Beyer and Eloy Morante Maldonado, while Philipp Ahouansou scored nine for Wetzlar.
- Wetzlar rued what staff called their worst half of the season as coach Momir Ilic’s fierce timeout failed to spark a response, with immediate tests ahead: Berlin host GWD Minden on Sunday, BHC visit SC Magdeburg, and Wetzlar welcome HSV Hamburg.
