Johannes Golla celebrates for Flensburg"That means a lot to us after the difficult start to the season, but we have to keep working with humility and diligence," said Flensburg's strong goalkeeper Kevin Möller on ARD.
Flensburg are now directly ahead of Kiel (13) with 14 points. SC Magdeburg (11) is the only unbeaten team next to the SG, but has played two games less.
To the match centre: Flensburg vs. Kiel
Flensburg wins thanks to a strong second half
"Our lead in the table is a nice snapshot," said THW's managing director Viktor Szilagyi in the run-up to the game, "but the standings and everything that came before are always irrelevant in this special match." SG coach Ales Pajovic also did not want to attach the greatest importance to the statistics: "I haven't even looked at the table yet, the season is still so long."
And this game was also long and had completely different phases. After an even start, Flensburg were initially on top, but Kiel became increasingly dominant in the final phase of the first half and went into the break with a three-goal lead. However, the second half belonged to the hosts for most of the time, in a game where Lasse Moller, Simon Pytlick, og Kevin Moller starred as the key players for the home.
Lasse Moller was the leading goalscorer in the match with ten goals.
