Newswire From a news agency Outcome reported
  • German champions SC Magdeburg defeated Füchse Berlin 36-32 in front of a sold-out crowd of 6,600 at the Getec Arena.
  • Magnus Saugstrup and Matias Gidsel led the scoring for their teams with seven goals each.
  • Magdeburg recovered from a one-goal halftime deficit and pulled away in the second half despite two red cards and repeated stoppages for floor wiping.

SC Magdeburg recorded its second victory over Füchse Berlin in less than two weeks, winning 36-32 in a sold-out Getec Arena watched by 6,600 fans.

Berlin led 14-13 at halftime after a tight, error-filled opening. Magdeburg’s Matej Mandic made several saves as the hosts initially moved three goals ahead, but Füchse goalkeeper Lasse Ludwig helped the visitors recover. Berlin also started with an extra outfield player, a tactic that quickly lost effectiveness.

Frederik Simak received a red card shortly before the break. Magdeburg then regained control after halftime and increased the pace of scoring. The unusually warm arena forced repeated interruptions so the floor could be wiped.

Magdeburg opened a four-goal lead while playing with a numerical advantage and extended it further. Berlin switched to a 5-1 defense and narrowed the gap, but could not get closer. Magdeburg’s Gisli Kristjansson later received a red card, while Berlin’s increasingly aggressive defense failed to turn the match around. Saugstrup scored seven for Magdeburg, matching Gidsel’s seven-goal tally for Berlin.
