Rhein-Neckar Löwen - HSV Hamburg 34:33 and THW Kiel - Stralsunder HV 32:20 and the Zebras need only one point in the next 6 games to be German Champions! The bad news is that Kim Andersson is out with a serious hand injury for six weeks!
Nikola and his teammates will play away against Lemgo practically with the 15th Bundesliga’s title on the table on Sunday. A draw is sufficient to make them celebrate. But until then, the "Kieler" are worried in the perspective of the Champions League’s semifinal and the German Cup Final Four in Hamburg.
The cause is the hand injury of Kim Andersson, the right back number one in the team. Aparently, he broke his hand in the game against Füchse Berlin on last Friday. That’s why, the coach Alfred Gislason gave Christian Zeitz a lot of playing time and Zeitzi did great. Nikola got also some minutes on this key position and couldn´t show too much because within 11 minutes to go he had to leave the field. Lundström, who tonight was responsible with the flyer tricks, assisted Nikola on a fastbreak and the best player in the world got an easy foot sprain.
Anyaway, from 12:5 (18.) to 12:9 (23.) and then to 16:12 after 30 minutes, it is obvious that the hosts didn´t showed everything they are capable of in front of their opponent. But even so Omeyer was simply the same Omeyer from always, Lundström had the role of an entertainer on the fastbreaks and a new axe back player - pivot lighted out for hosts: Zeitz - Anic, both with excellent performances. In conclusion, without to force at all, the Zebras won in the end by 12 goals, 32:20.
