THW Kiel dominates Ostrow and has enough of a chance to win the group!

On Tuesday evening, November 25th, 2025, THW Kiel triumphed again in the European League and thus continued its impressive series of successes. With a clear 33:25 win against KPR Ostrow Wielkopolski, the team under the leadership of coach Filip Jícha secured their fifth win in a row. At halftime, Kiel was only ahead by a tiny margin of 16:15, but in the second half they pulled away decisively and dominated the game.

The Kiel team had to overcome a pleasant nervous tension at the beginning of the game when they initially fell behind slightly. But Lukas Laube took the first lead of the game in the 26th minute and made it 13:12. In addition to Laube, Eric Johansson, Rasmus Ankermann and Bence Imre also shone with five goals each and thus contributed significantly to the success. Imre in particular scored the important 20:15 in the 34th minute, which set the course for a clear victory.

Strong in goal

Andreas Wolff, who replaced Gonzalo Perez de Vargas in the box in the second half, showed an excellent performance and saved many balls that caused great problems for the opposing offense. While Ostrow initially played strongly and put Kiel's defense under pressure, it became increasingly difficult for the Poles to generate dangerous throwing positions as the game progressed. In the 50th minute, Kiel was already ahead 29:21.

Thanks to this victory, THW Kiel has not only qualified for the main round, but is also facing new territory in the next game against Montpellier HB. This duel will take place next Tuesday and could decide who wins the group. The Kiel team won the first leg 30:28, and a draw or a narrow defeat with just one goal would be enough to win the group.

View of the main round

THW Kiel has a first-class record and the upcoming matches promise exciting games. In the main round, the team will face SG Flensburg-Handewitt, with whom they have an explosive rivalry. This will be another highlight in the already illustrious history of the club, which has won a total of 23 titles in the handball Bundesliga and has repeatedly caused a sensation in recent years, most recently in 2025 by winning the DHB Cup.

What's next? The coming games will show whether THW Kiel can maintain its impressive form in the main round and perhaps even shine again on the highest European stage. Fans and experts are excited to see whether the team around coach Jícha can continue to perform like this. The next test will definitely be a big challenge.
