Sc Magdeburg Vs Aalborg Håndbold Handball Highlights Semi-final EHF Champions League 2024
SUMMARY: BARÇA WITH DOMINANT WIN; AALBORG EDGE MAGDEBURG
From 16 teams down to four, and now two - semi-finals day in the Machineseeker EHF Champions League 2023/24 saw Aalborg secure the first place in the final with a 28:26 win against SC Magdeburg. Barça followed their 2021 final opponents to the trophy match with a near-record victory at the EHF FINAL4 Men.
16:40 RESULT | SC MAGDEBURG VS AALBORG 26:28
Aalborg return to the EHF Champions League final as they beat Magdeburg by two goals. It's Sebastian Barthold who has the final say, deciding the outcome with 10 seconds on the clock as he nets his sixth goal from as many attempts.
16:38 60TH MINUTE | SC MAGDEBURG VS AALBORG 26:27
Two more saves from Niklas Landin and an eighth strike from Mads Hoxer see Aalborg create the first two-goal distance of the match. Magdeburg answer but we are now down to 24 seconds to go and Aalborg have possession.
16:34 58TH MINUTE | SC MAGDEBURG VS AALBORG 25:26
Into the final minutes - will they be the final minutes? - of semi-final one and Aalborg have brough Niklas Landin back into goal. The Danish stalwart has the experience to deliver in crunchtime, having done it many times before even when not having his best match. Proving that, he has already made a critical save in this important moment of the game.
16:27 52ND MINUTE | SC MAGDEBURG VS AALBORG 22:22
Into the last 10 minutes of the match with the game still completely one-for-one. Not once has the score line been more than one.
Aalborg's Rene Antonsen has just hobbled off the court with what looks to be a minor injury, which could be a blow for the Danish side.
Looking to the goalkeepers, Fabian Norsten is still clearly winning this contest, now almost matching Sergey Hernandez's number of saves (eight for the Aalborg keeper to nine for the Magdeburg goalie) despite playing far less time.
16:19 47TH MINUTE | SC MAGDEBURG VS AALBORG 19:20
Mikkel Hansen gives Aalborg a one-goal edge with what is his fourth goal in the game, as he begins to play a more important role for the Danish side.
Meanwhile, Omar Ingi Magnusson has reached a huge tally of eight goals. He could end up joining the list of players with most goals in one EHF FINAL4 match, but needs a few more goals in order to do that. Seven players have hit the 10-goal mark before, and eight more have passed that.
Off the court,
16:13 43RD MINUTE | SC MAGDEBURG VS AALBORG 18:18
A pause in the game as the referees go to the video replay and come away with a red card for Magdeburg's Christian O'Sullivan. That gives O'Sullivan an interesting record of three red cards in three TruckScout24 EHF FINAL4 matches, as he was sent off in last year's semi-final and final.
With the match still so close, tension is high and will certainly only continue to build.
16:04 38TH MINUTE | SC MAGDEBURG VS AALBORG 15:15
Eight minutes into the second period and the contest remains absolutely equal. What will separate these two in the end?
Aalborg coach Stefan Madsen has rotated his line-up much more than Magdeburg's Bennet Wiegert so far, which could prove important - more players with a feel for the game ready to come back on after some rest. But on the other hand, Magdeburg will have a lot of entirely fresh players on the bench able to come on if needed.
15:56 32ND MINUTE | SC MAGDEBURG VS AALBORG 12:11
Aalborg keeper Fabian Norsten prevents Magdeburg from creating the first two-goal lead of the match with a spectacular save on a fast break. With that, the 23-year-old Swede maintains his 50 per cent rate. Norsten is looking very much like a key in this game right now.
15:53 31ST MINUTE | SC MAGDEBURG VS AALBORG 11:11
The second half begins! 30 minutes to decide the first finalists of the season - or will we need more time?
It was an amazing match, between two tough teams that played good handball. Maybe it was not the prettiest game ever, but one of the most intense. It was an amazing game to play, especially in such an atmosphere. It’s a dream come true to play the final here. Tonight, we tried something we usually don’t do, a five-one defence, a bit more aggressive, to kill their rhythm and how they approach their attack. I am really satisfied. We also got a lot of good situations, we managed to put the right players in the right situations, and we fought for everything, every fumble, every contact. It’s an amazing feeling to be here with the final ticket. It could have gone both ways, but I feel like we deserved it more tonight.

It’s hard to lose like that, when you have the impression that things could have also gone your way. It hurts, but I feel like we missed a little bit of everything in every area of the game. But at this level, a little bit is actually a huge bit and that makes the difference in the end.
