It would take no less than 21 minutes before Gidsel finally got on the scoreboard against a well-organized Polish defense who only very rarely allowed the World's Best Handballer to get into promising goalscoring positions.
However, they could not keep another Danish national team player, Lasse Andersson from taking the glory in the absence of his countryman on the scoreboard.
The Danish left-back scored six times and kept the Germans in the game in a first half that was controlled by the home side who went into the interval with a lead of 14-12.
The Berlin outfit gradually cracked the code during the second half where Gidsel, while he often could not find the net himself, often provided terrific assists for Andersson who scored no less than 12 goals on the night.
After 42 minutes, Füchse Berlin Berlin took their first lead at 18-19 which was increased to 21-24 with about ten minutes to go. And the Germans never looked back towards the end of the match where Gidsel managed to take his tally to four goals but still remained in the shadow of Andersson on the night.
