HC Fivers WAT Margareten claimed their first victory in their third EHF European League group match. Coach Peter Eckl’s Seven sensationally beat top French club Fenix ​​Toulouse 37:32 (17:15) at Hollgasse thanks to an excellent performance. “This is a really important moment. That victory is remembered for a long, long time, “cheered captain Markus Kolar and Marin Martinovic added:” This is one of the greatest victories in club history! “

The first half was a head-to-head race until the 25th minute. But then the home side gained a small lead with three goals in a row. With a 17:15 lead, the Fivers went into halftime. The second break started off ideally from the outside point of view: Marin Martinovic and David Brandfellner secured a +4 for the first time. A little later Martinovic was even able to raise to 22:17. The course was not yet ready for victory, but now a certain cushion had been built. This was also necessary. Because Toulouse came close again, shortened several times to -2. But it shouldn’t get any closer. On the contrary: in a remarkable final phase, the Fivers were able to extend their lead again thanks to experienced Wolfgang Filzwieser on goal and spectacular shots.

The local top scorers were Tobias Wagner, Eric Damböck (6 each), David Brandfellner and Marin Martinovic (5 each). Next Tuesday the Fivers will perform at HC Metalurg in the capital of North Macedonia, Skopje. The start is again at 6.45 pm
