Dejan Milosavljev had actually offered the opposing left winger the short corner. Although he decided to throw the opposite way, the Berlin goalkeeper still managed to cover the goal sufficiently and parry the ball. It was defensive actions like these that kept the foxes in the game on Saturday evening and ensured that a 29:25 (12:10) victory against HSG Wetzlar could be celebrated at the end of the evening.
Again and again, the 26-year-old stretched himself and thus strengthened the backs of the men in front, especially in the early stages. Because they initially found it more than difficult against the guests from Central Hesse. Jacob Holm was again stopped early on the offensive, as did Mathias Gidsel, who was forced to make an unusual number of pass errors for him. Accordingly, the game was poor in goals, in which only nine goals could be recorded in the statistics after a quarter of an hour played.
It was only when the half-time break approached that the Berliners – benefiting from a double time penalty from Wetzlar – were able to gain a small advantage. It was newcomer Robert Weber, of all people, who created the first three-goal lead with a seven-meter throw and generally not only made important goals in the game, but also goals worth seeing.
Overall, however, the second half was bumpy. Although the attack showed better approaches, the defensive behavior left a lot to be desired. Only through three goals in a row by left winger Milos Vujovic in the 43rd minute were the foxes able to make it 20:17 and defend the lead with a lot of effort until the final whistle. Because Wetzlar made simple mistakes and because Dejan Milosavljev kept saving important balls.
