Hagen — Ferndorf: 25:22, 2. Bundesliga

Hagen secured a narrow victory over Ferndorf on Sunday, winning 25:22 in the 2. Bundesliga. The match was played at the Hagen venue on 27 September 2026 and finished with the hosts taking all three points.

Both sides arrived level on points. Hagen and Ferndorf each sat on six points from four games, with identical records of three wins and one draw. The result shifts Hagen further clear at fourth, while Ferndorf remain sixth.

And here's the thing — I had Hagen winning at 55 per cent confidence before kick-off. The scoreline tells you the margin was razor-thin, but the call was right. Ferndorf made it hard, yet Hagen held firm when it mattered.

Recent form suggests neither side was running hot. Hagen's last five included a heavy win over Hammen-Westfalen ASV but also a defeat against Emsdetten. Ferndorf showed similar inconsistency, losing to Kassel 2000 and Hannover-Burgdorf while beating Dessau-Roslauer and Ludwigshafen.

The two-point gap between the sides now reflects a result decided by a few moments. Hagen close out the game, Ferndorf leave with nothing. That is how tight this division runs.
