The Kadetten Schaffhausen have been eliminated in the quarterfinals of the European Cup. The Swiss champions lose the second leg in the Füchsen Berlin despite an impressive performance 24:30.

After the 37:33 home win in the first leg a week earlier, the hopes of the cadets were justified to get as far in a European Cup competition as they had not done in 13 years. At the time, after two games in the final of the EHF Cup, they had to admit defeat to TBV Lemgo, another (former) big player from the Bundesliga.

The goal of the Swiss champions was to reach the last four tournaments, with the winners of the quarter-finals at the end of May in Flensburg in Schleswig-Holstein competing for the title in the semi-finals and final.

Hectic final phase leads to decision

The cadets keep this hope alive in the Max-Schmeling-Halle cauldron for a long time to come and keep the game open until the end – against a competitor who tops the rankings in the Bundesliga together with THW Kiel and has thirteen internationals from eight countries in its team has.

With ten minutes to go the Cadets are just three goals behind; that difference would have been enough to move forward. But in the hectic final phase, the foxes manage to make the decisive difference. Top scorer for Schaffhausen is Mathias Gidsel from Denmark with ten goals. Icelander Odinn Rikhardsson, who distinguished himself from the strong collective with 15 goals in the first leg, scores six times.
