With an incredibly strong first half THW Kiel seemed to be on their way to demolishing Vive Kielce, but then the 2022 EHF Champions League finalists struck back and were close to turning the match around. In the end, Kiel took a 32:29 victory and still can mathematically hope for second place in the group.  Now at 12 points, they are still six behind the Polish side. Netting eight goals, Niklas Ekberg was Kiel’s best scorer, but the match winner was goalkeeper Tomas Mrkva.
