Games with many goals aren’t unusual in the German League, especially in Spandau’s and Hannover’s wins in the matches against the clubs from the lower half of the table.. However, a match with 41 goals is really a rarity. ASC Duisburg beat Ludwigsburg 24:17. Like they played a handball game.
Duisburg, encouraged by a win over Waspo Hannover in the 3rd round, was the favorite, but Ludwigsburg, which has played well in the Euro cups, didn’t carry a white flag. In the middle of the first quarter, the teams were tied at 2:2. By the end of the first quarter, Duisburg earned a 3-goal lead (5:2 and 6:3) and stretched the margin to five in the second quarter (8:3, 9:4, 10:5, 11:6).
