from Hamburg report André Dersewski and Maximilian Schmidt

On Sunday (13:25, live! Bei Magdeburg game), the dream finish in Hamburg is rising: Bundesliga league leader Magdeburg and the German record champion Kiel will meet for the farewell to the Hanseatic city. While the SCM in the rather one-sided semi-finals against Erlangen could distribute the power to several shoulders, the THW against defending champion TBV Lemgo Lippe had to stretch very much to solve his final ticket. "That was an incredibly heavy game that can go out for both sides," said THW coach Filip Jicha.

In an end game around the DHB Cup, the force issue can play a role. Especially with a view of the Magdeburg game style with merciless first wave, second wave and fast center. The keels are likely to be stressed from the beginning - and need to try to minimize their error rate in order to prevent the tempo game of the SCM in addition.

And not only left outside Matthias Muske burns to the final: "We are very happy, but not yet satisfied. I believe that we can win." A key to the third pokal victory of club history should be whether the Magdeburger will get the tireless keel driver Sander Sagosen in the handle. He ripped the game in the ligas in Saxony-Anhalt and was chased on Saturday thanks to his eight goals to the player of the game. "We had problems with him last time, we have to do better," says Sagosens Landsmann Christian O'Sullivan.
