hostile jeering and whistles directed towards Hanning

In a closely contested Bundesliga top match, SC Magdeburg dominated Berlin, securing a 32:39 victory. The handball team Berlin struggled throughout the game, with several missed shots and passes leading to their downfall.

The loss marked a forgettable debut for new coach Nicolej Krickau, who took over following the immediate dismissals of sports director Stefan Kretzschmar and previous coach Jaron Siewert. The double dismissal had caused a stir in the preparation days, and the team's poor performance seemed to be a direct result.

At halftime, guest goalkeeper Sergey Hernández had nine saves to his name. However, star player Mathias Gidsel struggled in the finish, unable to turn the tide for Berlin.

The match did not resemble a duel between two top teams, with Magdeburg extending their lead to twelve goals at the restart. Despite a small comeback from Berlin, the fans continued to boo, expressing their disapproval of the team's performance and the new coaching staff.

SCM fans celebrated their win, chanting "league leaders" in triumph. Meanwhile, Berlin's fans mocked Hanning, the former coach, with chants like "There'd be nothing going on here without Jaron."

In an interview, Hanning responded to the fan anger by stating that if you bear the responsibility, you have to stand by it. The loss was another blow in a horror week for Berlin, who continue to struggle in the Bundesliga.

The support for the players was great, but Krickau and Hanning were heavily booed during the game. As Berlin look to turn their fortunes around, the pressure is on Krickau to deliver results and win back the fans' support.
