HSG Hanau is subject to Saarlouis despite the return of the injuries!

The HSG Hanau had to surrender on February 2nd, 2025 in an exciting duel against HG Saarlouis with 28:34. The game took place in the Main-Kinzig-Halle in Hanau and was part of the third highest German handball league, the 3rd league.

Jusys celebrated his comeback with four goals in his first game of the season and gave the team new impulses.

The game started promising for the guests from Saarlouis, who immediately started the encounter with a 2-0 lead by Yves Kunkel. The HSG Hanau had great difficulties in the first half, especially due to technical errors and numerous misses. This meant that they were back at halftime with 12:19.

In the first half, the Hanauer only showed their strength to a limited extent and had to bow several times the attacks of the Saarlouis. These were able to break away until half -time through a closed team performance and consistent game.
