"Club record!🎉 Mathias Gidsel has etched his name into the history books of the Füchse Berlin with his 1003rd field goal in the Opel HBL 🦊 No other player has ever scored that many field goals for the capital city club in the Opel HBL", said Fuchse Berlin on social media during the match.
With his seven goals, he is now the player who has scored the most goals for Fuchse Berlin in the club's history—excluding penalty shots from the statistics.
The Danish star has reached a tally of 1,008 goals and looks forward to extending the record further.
Hans Lindberg still holds the overall goal-scoring record for Fuchse Berlin, though he was also the team's designated penalty taker. Lindberg's Berlin record stands at 1,467 goals.
If Mathias Gidsel maintains his average of 7.7 goals per match, he will surpass Lindberg in 59 games. That would happen late in the 2027/2028 season, assuming the Danish national team star plays every match. His contract with Berlin runs until the summer of 2029.
Mathias Gidsel is the second-fastest player in history to reach Bundesliga 1000 goals, doing it in 128 games.
Jerzy Klempel holds the historic record for being the fastest player to reach 1,000 goals in the German Handball-Bundesliga, hitting the milestone in just 123 games.
The Polish international was a legendary left-handed right back for Frisch Auf Göppingen between 1982 and 1989.
