TV Großwallstadt loses dramatically 39:40 against Hagen!

TV Großwallstadt experienced a heart-stopping final of a special kind on November 9, 2025, when they competed in an exciting match against league leaders VfL Eintracht Hagen. Unfortunately, the game ended in a narrow 39-40 defeat for the hosts, despite leading 20-19 in the first half and scoring an impressive 39 goals. This bitter defeat leaves fans and players with some questions about the quality of play and the harsh reality of sports.

In the first minutes of the game, Florian Eisenträger and Finn Wullenweber were able to score for TVG and gave their team a 2-0 lead. Pierre Busch from Hagen equalized several times, but TVG pulled ahead through Connar Battermann to 5:8 before the halftime score was 20:19. A curious detail: There were no goalkeeper saves in the first half, which highlights the offense of both teams. Do the coaches there, André Lohrbach for Großwallstadt and Prokopec for Hagen, see a need for action?

A match full of twists and turns

Things really got going in the second half: Maxim Schalles and Jan von Boenigk kept the tension going, while Mario Stark had to leave the field early with his third 2-minute penalty. Hagen took advantage of the majority and took the lead with 25:23. The serious injury to Yessine Meddeb was particularly tragic, which meant a major setback for the TVG at that moment. But the Großwallstadt team fought back and finally tried to turn the game around in the last few minutes.

In the really thrilling final minutes, TVG even led 39:38, but the lead was short-lived. Hakon Styrmisson scored 40:39 for Hagen. A free throw for TVG by Maxim Schalles, who was fouled, came to an unfortunate end as the batter was unable to convert the free throw. So the hope of winning points was gone.
