That was exciting: In the home game of TSV Weilheim's handball players against HSG isar-Loisach, the decisive goal came eight seconds before the end.
Weilheim - Great atmosphere in the hall - and then also a victory in the first home game after over a year and a half.
The evening in the Jahnhalle went as desired for the handball players of TSV Weilheim.
However, players and fans of the hosts had to have very good nerves in this regional league game against HSG Isar-Loisach.
This hard-fought duel was on the knife edge.
Only eight seconds before the end, the Weilheimers managed to score the decisive goal for a 25:24 (10:10) victory.
For a long time, however, it did not necessarily look like a success for the home side.
In the final phase, in which there was almost exclusively a tie, the Weilheim team gave away good opportunities several times.
But they were lucky that the guests weren't more skilful in this regard either.
"We lacked the strength in the back room," admitted TSV team spokesman Nico Beinlich.
Eight seconds before the end, Weilheim scores at 25:24
After TSV goalkeeper Benedikt Blacek had parried a strong throw from the guests in the final minute, the Weilheimers got another chance to attack. Before that, coach Felix Becker brought his men together again during a break to discuss the procedure for the last attack in this game. Whatever the plan, the Weilheim players implemented it perfectly. "Florian should go into a one-on-one situation, and he did it successfully," said Beinlich happily about the winning goal from Florian Stanzel, who, along with Andreas Kunz and Max Osthöver, was one of the most conspicuous in the Weilheim team.
The home side, who competed without Torgarant Lukas Schwendele, but with a new addition, the former Peißenberger Benny Leppert, had a hard time playing. It only went better after 1: 3 deficit (6th). The defense went to work more offensively and aggressively and the chances at the front, especially after counter-attacks, were certainly exploited. The reward was four hits in a row and a small lead, but it didn't last long. The HSG, which was whipped forward by a large number of loud fans, also managed a small series. At 8:10 (23rd), Becker was forced to take a first break. It had an effect: TSV managed to equalize 10:10 until the break.
In the second half, too, the game remained balanced and competitive.
The Weilheimers were always in front with one or two goals.
But four minutes before the end, the guests equalized.
But then the Weilheimers had the better end in this heartbeat finale.
