Overview
- Leipzig secured a 24–23 home victory over fellow Bundesliga drop‑outs GWD Minden with Franz Semper scoring the decisive goal in the final seconds of the match.
- The game was a defence‑led, low‑scoring affair where goalkeepers dominated and reporters credited Leipzig’s new signing Anadin Suljakovic with an outstanding performance.
- Accounts differ on small details of the finish with some outlets reporting the winner came three seconds before time and others saying four seconds, and sources vary on Suljakovic’s final save total.
- The match drew 3,531 fans to the Quarterback Immobilien Arena and served as a high‑profile rematch between the two clubs that dropped from the Handball‑Bundesliga last season.
- The win gives Leipzig early points and confidence as the team heads into the next round of fixtures while both clubs face a long season to press for promotion back to the top flight.
