The handball players of HC Linz caused a surprise at the start of the HLA semi-final. The Upper Austrians celebrated a 27:25 (13:13) victory away from defending champion UHK Krems in the first game of the “best of three” series on Saturday. The number seven of the basic round can thus move into the final on Wednesday (6:05 p.m.) in the home hall.
After the Linzers had already eliminated cup winner Hard in the quarter-finals, they also took the lead against the champions. The Kremser were four goals ahead after 20 minutes, but the guests managed to tie before the break. Immediately after the change, Linz, led by Alexander Hermann (9 goals) and Lucijan Fizuleto (8), pulled away by two goals and were no longer behind. And that despite the fact that Tobias Cvetko, the eighth top scorer in the HLA regular round, failed to score and had to leave the field with a red card in the 49th minute.
HLA semifinals – 1st game (best of three): UHK Krems – HC Linz AG 25:27 (13:13). 2nd game on Wednesday (6:05 p.m.) in Linz.
