Lunde came in after the break and delivered hard during the round even though he was halfway there to get glue in his eye.
The 40-year-old suffered a serious knee injury in May 2019 at the Champions League final in Budapest and therefore had not played a match in 504 days.
Before the break, the Germans followed the Vipers and were only behind the goal after 30 minutes played, but a strong period midway through the second half, including three goals in four minutes from Henny Reistad, secured the Southerners an advantage in the match.
However, Nora Mørk was the top scorer with nine goals, to Reistad’s seven.
With the victory, the Vipers rise to second place in Group A of the Champions League, point by point with CSM Bucharest, which is the rival of the Kristiansand team in the next round on 10 October.
Great dark game
The teams closely followed each other during the first half. The Vipers were mostly in the lead, but never got more than two goals clear. The teams went to halftime 15-14 against the Vipers.
One of the real bright spots in the first place was Nora Mørk, who at times seemed to be back to the old way. During the first 30 minutes, she scored six goals.
Mørk is back in Norwegian handball this season after four years with big foreign clubs. After struggling with extensive injury problems, he played his first Champions League game since the semi-final against the Vipers for Györ in 2019 two weeks ago.
Moved from
The Vipers started the second half strong and quickly gained a two-goal lead. They also had a long three-goal lead, but after extra time for Bietigheim, the lead was reduced to one goal at twelve minutes into the half.
After that, the Vipers pulled away again and led 26-22 five minutes later. At most, he led with five goals in the second half and managed to stay away despite a strong shot from the home team.
Heidi Løke incurred her third two minutes towards the end of the match and received a red card.
The Vipers had their Champions League game against FTC Hungaria postponed last weekend. This happened after two players with the opponent took a positive crown test. This weekend the other three games to be played in the Vipers group were postponed after positive corona tests.
Vipers started the Champions League with a 27-26 away win over Crimea Ljubljana two weeks ago.
