The Rhein-Neckar Löwen has mastered its compulsory task with the weakening old master VfL Gummersbach with confidence and aggravated the crisis of the Oberbergische.The defending champion won the VfL with 29:26 (13:8) and climbed to second place in the standings behind TSV Hannover-Burgdorf (8:0), who still had no loss points, with his third victory in the fourth game of the season.

Gummersbach, who had barely managed to reach the end of last season’s class, is in the middle of a relegation fight after losing his fourth match 2:8.

Jerry Tollbring (6) as well as Henrik Pekeler (5) and goal scorer Andy Schmid (5/5) were the best lion’s throwers in front of 3239 spectators in the Schwalbe Arena, who face an incomparably higher hurdle on Sunday at the start of the Champions League against eight-time champions FC Barcelona.At VfL Florian Baumgärtner (7) and Florian von Gruchalla (7/7) met best.
