In the northern duel of the handball Bundesliga, HSV Hamburg missed another surprise.
The team of coach Torsten Jansen lost to runner-up SG Flensburg-Handewitt on Sunday with 27:33 (14:17).
As a climber, the Hanseatic League has 7: 7 points.
Hamburg - The weakened replacement Flensburg have prevented a bigger gap to the top of the table.
Coach Maik Machulla's team, which suffered setbacks especially in the Champions League and DHB Cup, has 7: 3 points in the Bundesliga after five games.
"We have a very difficult phase," said Machulla.
“We struggle every day to be able to train as a team at all,” added Jim Gottfridsson.

The ailing backcourt player and director as well as Hampus Wanne scored the most goals for his team with six goals each.
Niklas Weller (5) was the most successful for Hamburg.
In the first north duel with Hamburg participation in six years, around 6000 spectators whipped their team forward in the Barclays Arena. The hosts were in the lead for a long time and only had to let Flensburg go in the last minutes of the first half. "Both have pressed the accelerator," said HSVH Vice President Martin Schwalb at Sky and complained: "We lack the punch."
That turned out to be true in the second half.
Since the Hamburgers could only seldom overcome the SG defensive bar.
A brief period of rebellion did not change anything, in which the Jansen team again forced a tie (23:23).
In the final course, the Schleswig-Holsteiners were more resolute and ensured clear success with their routine.
"We can still be proud of our performance," said HSV circuit runner Niklas Weller.
HSV is now 7th, Flensburg's 5th place.
