Bietigheim celebrates a landslide victory and secures relegation!

In a decisive game in the Handball Bundesliga on June 4, 2025, SG BBM Bietigheim celebrated a clear victory against SC DHfK Leipzig with 34:25. With this result, the team has taken a significant step towards staying in the league. Coach Sigtryggsson had a lot to do, although his team led confidently at times. In the first half he was forced to take two time-outs to motivate his players and adjust tactics.

A special moment of the game was Tom Wolf's goal in the 40th minute, which allowed Bietigheim to pull away to 24:14. Wolf not only distinguished himself as a goalscorer, but also delivered a strong overall performance. At the end of the game he expressed satisfaction with the team's performance, which was not a given given how the season had gone so far.

Bad luck with injuries and outstanding performances

In the 55th minute, Juan de la Peña had to leave the field due to injury after colliding with a Leipzig player. This posed another challenge for Bietigheim, but goalkeeper Rebmann was able to make a decisive contribution to his team's defense with ten saves. Leipzig's former goalkeeper Domenico Ebner, however, showed his usual strong level with twelve saves.

Although Bietigheim is now farther away from the relegation zone in the table, the team remains on guard. Last season was marked by difficulties, and fans still remember the duel on November 21, 2024, when the team squandered a victory against Leipzig that they thought they had already won. At that time, Bietigheim led by five goals, but was unable to maintain its high lead and ultimately lost 28:29. The best scorer of the game was Viggo Kristjansson from Leipzig with nine goals, while Tom Wolf scored seven goals for Bietigheim.

Outlook and fans

Despite the defeat in November, Leipzig received a standing ovation from the home fans, especially Luca Witzke, who ended his time at Leipzig and was also successful in this game. The supporters showed their loyalty and appreciation throughout the game, which significantly enhanced the atmosphere in the hall.

The next games are coming up and Bietigheim will have to work hard to continue the positive development. The team can be happy about the victory, but the focus remains on the coming challenge to finally secure relegation. The fans are optimistic and hope for a successful second half of the handball Bundesliga.
