Fredericia Håndbold Klub 🆚 Füchse Berlin Handball Highlights EHF Champions League 2024
Fredericia Håndbold Klub (DEN) vs Füchse Berlin (GER) 32:38 (17:17)
GROUP A
After two clear defeats, debutants Fredericia were close to their first half-time lead in their short EHF Champions League history, but Lasse Andersson levelled the result with the buzzer. Before, Berlin had a strong period in the middle of the first half, as Gidsel was again on fire. But, backed by former Füchse player Evgeni Pevnov, who scored five of his six goals before the break, the Danish side struck back. After half-time, Füchse goalkeeper Dejan Milosavljev became the crucial factor, boosting his side as they pulled ahead. In the end, 2024 Olympic champions Gidsel and Andersson combined for 15 goals. Fredericia lacked the means to put pressure on the European League 2022/23 champions, who easily cruised to their second group phase victory, which was latest secured at 30:24 in minute 48.
They're a strong team and played some great handball. I'm proud of us and the way we fought throughout the match - it means a lot, and I'm really happy with how well the boys performed. In the first half, we kept pace with them, playing toe-to-toe. In the second half, they turned up the intensity, and we struggled a bit, especially with our defence and the injuries we’re dealing with in the goalkeeper department. All in all, I’m both happy and proud. We bounced back well from last week's defeat, and that shows the strength and resilience in our team.

I'm very happy with the win, especially because I was surprised at how well Fredericia played. They managed to find gaps in our defence that we weren’t expecting. Fortunately, we were able to respond by finding openings in theirs as well.
It was a hard-fought match, and Fredericia really pushed us in many instances, which makes this victory even more satisfying. We stayed focused and capitalised on the opportunities we created, but it’s clear that they’re a strong team and made us earn the result.
