Handball: Leipzig and Magdeburg secure opening season victories
In German handball, SC DHfK Leipzig secured a narrow 24:23 victory against SC GWD Minden in their 2. Bundesliga season opener. The match, featuring two teams recently relegated from the top flight, was decided in the final seconds when Franz Semper scored a winning goal just four seconds before the whistle.
In the Bundesliga, defending champions SC Magdeburg opened their season with a 33:31 win over VfL Gummersbach. Despite the loss, Gummersbach's Miro Schluroff scored 11 goals. The home side was hampered by the absence of Alex Dujshebaev and Teitur Einarsson due to muscle injuries. Additionally, Gummersbach recently confirmed a contract extension for head coach Guðjón Valur Sigurðsson through 2029.
