EHF Champions League Kiel overtaking Montpellier with ease

 Kiel – Montpellier  

23 Feb 2022




Sagosen on duty after 45 seconds

Wiencek with an eye injury still finds the net but Bataille battles well 2-1 2’45

Sego saves from Wiencek and then from Pekeler

A lot of empty seats. Covid as a reason.

They exchanged pennants.

A lot of noise in the Sparkassen Arena

Landin keeps it tight 3-1 5’30

Bilyk close to passive play gets number five but Montpellier keeps at it 5-3 8’30

Wienhold finds space where nobody does 6-3 10’

Sagosen winces and gets it right 7-4 11’40

This time Sego read Weinhold attempt low on his near post

Valou gets the old-fashioned way past Niklas Landin 7-5 13’

 Julien Bos responds to Reinkind in very similar fashion

Where’s the Montpellier defence as Pekeler is on his own 10-6 15’45

Hugo Descat opens wide then shots inside

Reinkind top corner, a beauty.

Wiencek line play was sublime 12-8 17’40

But then gets a bit accommodating with his no defence attitude 12-9 18’15

Kiel ought to win so as to leapfrog Montpellier.

My Xmas presents Kiel wise never materialised because it was sold out after hesitations and there was a lot of confusion about the size and the dispatch is so expensive

Ekberg on top of Europe again as THW now leads by 4 13-9

Duvnjak even scores directly into the empty and it is a 5-goal gap 14-9 21’10

Sego avoids further damage. Time for a time-out.  






Superb old school Pekeler goal and discreetly but effectively BB responds16-11 25’45

Good idea by Filip to take his time out

Clear German instructions from THE LEGEND. So many at KIEL.

Sego fumbles it to Filip’s delight 17-11 27’45

Panjc scores as Landin looked disinterested as he likes to pretend 17-12 28’35

Underneath by Zarabec and Sego completely stunned by Ekberg counter-attack but Bataille scores seconds before the break 19-13.  Like in Lemgo yesterday a lot of goals and not many saves.

Pavlov on the biscuits

Jacobsen opens the second half deftly and Weinhold follows shortly thereafter 21-13 32’

Hugo Descat gets a good delivery and beats Landin between his legs 22-14 34’

Wiencek scores two in a row then gets a needless 2-minute. So reminded us of his lack of luck on that front during the euros.

Change in keepers with Montpellier

Reinkind sublime top corner. Enjoyable nine-goal advantage 38’ 24-15

Ekberg with ease gets the 9-goal lead back from a 7-meter throw 26-17 40’

Schoolboy Ehrig has a beauty of a wing goal 27-17 41’45





Yanis scores a beauty as well

That is a 2-min all day long and the public indicated its disapproval by whistling

Love the fairplay of the Kiel publicum

Powerful Weinhold keeps the party going 29-19 45’30

When Hugo plays for France, that is so different.

30-20 47’20 as Pekeler is having fun as well.

What a steal but missing the easiest of counter attacks as Bolzinger saves

Two saves in a row.

Ehrig overly ambitious on his latest attempt

Classic strategic overhaul

Fringe stars are having more game time 32-20 53’

Czech Qatar Maqueda Horak gets 2-minute

Bos gets instructions from the Boss. And immediate effect with empty goal conversion 32-22 54’20

Lenne scores after a dubious decision deprived THW from a goal 32-23. A 0-3 of no pleasure.

Oh yes, what as pass and a superb goal by Leon Benitez 33-23 56’20

Lenne finds AGAIN the same angle but almost in the area 33-24 56’55

Great agility by Landin to deny Bataille this time

Zebras are very happy 35-25 with one minute to go.

Valou beats Landin just before the buzzer 35-26
Final score 36-25
