ThSV Eisenach’s home start to the new Bundesliga season went badly as the team lost 27-36 to promoted HBW Balingen-Weilstetten on Thursday evening. It was Eisenach’s second defeat in two games.

Eisenach took until the sixth minute to score and fell 9-5 behind midway through the first half after committing numerous technical errors. A reshuffled backcourt gave the hosts more attacking momentum, but their defense still struggled to contain Balingen.

Eisenach briefly recovered at the start of the second half, scoring three straight goals to level the match at 18-18. Balingen, the stronger side in open play, responded by moving 24-19 ahead by the 40th minute. Eisenach repeatedly came up against goalkeeper Daniel Rebmann and could not regain control, eventually falling apart in the closing stages.

Felix Aellen was Eisenach’s top scorer with six goals. The match drew 2,408 spectators.
