Kiel THV secured a convincing 37:24 victory over Füchse in a club friendly on Friday evening. The match took place on 1st August 2026 and ended with the home side well clear by thirteen goals. It was a straightforward affair with no surprises, though the margin told you everything about how one side controlled proceedings.
Both teams arrived in mixed form. Kiel had lost four of their previous five outings, including defeats to Lemgo and Minden, before edging Bersicher 32:23 last month. Füchse were no better, dropping three of their last five, with losses to Austria Vienna and a narrow miss against Hart. They had won two against Linz in between, but consistency was clearly an issue.
And here's the thing about friendlies — they offer a chance to reset without the pressure of results. Kiel looked sharper from the outset, finding space where Füchse's structure had gaps. The visitors never really got out of second gear, and by the time the half-hour mark approached, the gap was already substantial. To be fair, Füchse fought hard in patches, but they could never string together enough attacks to stay within touching distance.
What this result means is straightforward. Kiel moved off the back of a poor run and showed they still have the capacity to dominate. Füchse, meanwhile, extended their recent struggles with another defeat. The scoreline of 37:24 doesn't lie — it reflected a side that had turned it on and another that simply couldn't find their rhythm. By then, the game was effectively over.
