Dramatic victory for MTV Großenheidorn II at the last moment!

On December 8th, 2025, an exciting handball match awaited the fans in Großenheidorn. In the association league, MTV Großenheidorn II hosted SV Alfeld II and ultimately won 26:25. But the game was anything but a one-sided affair. After the encounter, coach Rene Schröpfer noted that his men's performance was one of the weakest this season. Despite the narrow victory, there was a lot to discuss.

SV Alfeld II competed with a team that was minimally capable of playing and got the hosts out of step with a patient game. Großenheidorn couldn't get into the tempo game and Alfeld cleverly slowed down the pace. Technical errors and ball losses by the home team ensured that the game remained close. Großenheidorn initially led 10:6 in the 14th minute, but had to accept a deficit of 14:16 by the break.

The exciting gameplay

The second round remained just as competitive. Alfeld was ahead 19:18 in the 38th minute and made life difficult for Großenheidorn. But the host didn't give up and was able to take the lead 25:24 in the 57th minute. A decisive goal from Niklas Quitzow secured the victory - just 22 seconds before the end he made it 26:24. A real heart-stopping finale!
