To the match center: VfL Gummersbach vs. SG Flensburg-Handewitt
Gummersbach ruthlessly exploit Flensburg's weaknesses
Flensburg entered the matchday as the only unbeaten team of the German Bundesliga, but faced a stern test against the former champions in the raucous Schwalbe Arena. The visitors repeatedly had to fight back from deficits and rarely managed to take control of the game.
Backcourt player Nikola Roganovic, who scored 12 goals, and goalkeeper Bertram Obling, who made 18 saves, stood out for Gummersbach. Simon Pytlick and Emil Jakobsen each scored seven times for Flensburg.
