Gidsel scores at will
Fox superstar shoots opponents out of the hall almost alone

The Füchse Berlin are once again leading the way in the tight championship race with SC Magdeburg: thanks to a lightning start, the capital city team solved their compulsory task in a comparatively relaxed manner – and extremely goal-scoring.
The Füchse Berlin are back on the road to success and have once again presented themselves in the handball Bundesliga championship match. Jaron Siewert’s team ended their mini-crisis of three games without a win in the Bundesliga and European League with 39:32 (20:15) against HC Erlangen on matchday 24 and are once again three points ahead of SC Magdeburg at the top of the table . However, the Champions League winner, who had already won 38:30 in Gummersbach on Saturday, played one less game.
In the Max Schmeling Hall, the hosts flexed their muscles right from the start, and after just ten minutes the score was 10:3 for Berlin. The home team took their foot off the accelerator a bit afterward, but didn’t give up their lead and remain unbeaten in their local foxhole this season. The outstanding man for the Foxes was the Danish world champion Mathias Gidsel with 14 goals.
For the league leader’s superstar, who was recently nominated as one of three candidates for the World Handball Player, the mark represents a personal best for the season. Lasse Andersson, another Füchse professional, had previously scored just as often this season (on matchday 18 against TVB Stuttgart). Gidsel’s teammate and world champion colleague Andersson and Erlangen’s Nikolai Link each saw the red card.
The Romanians from CSM Constanta are already on Tuesday for the last group game of the European League (8:45 p.m./DAZN) visiting in Berlin. Next Sunday (4 p.m./dyn) The capital city will then compete in a direct duel between the title favorites in Magdeburg. The two teams will also meet in the semi-finals of the Final Four of the DHB Cup in Cologne in April.
