TV Oyten defeated Arsten in the thrilling handball derby with 30:26!
This Sunday there was an eagerly awaited derby between the ladies of TV Oyten and TuS Komet Arsten in the women's regional handball league.

Already at the beginning of the game, Arsten put in an impressive defensive performance with a stable 6:0 defense and was able to pull ahead 14:12. Their patient attack strategy paid off, but the challenge ultimately became too great as the Oyten team determinedly sought the opportunity after the break.
The key to success
TV Oyten coach Thomas Cordes credited his team's wider bench as a crucial factor in the win. “Both teams played incorrectly, but we had the upper hand in the final minutes,” explained Cordes. Substitute outside player Jahne Wendt in particular brought a breath of fresh air and new impulses in the second half, which had a positive effect on the game.
On the other hand, the Arsten coach, Thomas Panitz, regretted that individual mistakes were ultimately decisive for his team's defeat. Despite her impressive performance, Madita Woltemade was unable to convert a seven-meter penalty, which reduced the chance of a potentially different outcome to the game.

The focus will be on defense, says Cordes, who emphasizes that the form on the day will ultimately decide.
In addition to the good performances, the sports community in Oyten is also showing its best side: “We have grown as a team and are taking the momentum with us into the coming games,” continued Cordes.
