Shock at the final of the Handball Champions League!
The SC Magdeburg, with the Swiss Nikola Portner (29) and Lucas Meister (26), is behind KS Kielce (Po) in the 48th minute 20:22, when suddenly hectic breaks out in the press gallery in Cologne’s Lanxess Arena. A Polish journalist collapsed.
Approaching rescuers immediately begin CPR. The referees stop play. The man is treated behind a screen for 13 minutes before the rescuers are finally able to transport him out of the hall. An hour after the end of the game, there is tragic certainty: the reporter is dead. The European Handball Federation (EHF) reports: “The EHF mourns the loss of a media colleague who died during the EHF FINAL4.”
Portner with a decisive save
The game continues after the hiatus – developing into a true crime thriller. Neither team can pull away. With a score of 26:26, the Poles have the chance to win the title a few seconds before the end. But Swiss goalkeeper Portner miraculously parried the last free throw and saved Magdeburg in extra time.
The Germans can play out a lead of two points here. Kielce can shorten again, but in the end Magdeburg brings the wafer-thin 30:29 lead over time. It is the second Champions League title for SC Magdeburg after 2002.(mab)
