Skive — GOG: 29:41, Herre Handbold Ligaen

GOG beat Skive 41-29 on Saturday in the men's handball league. The visitors strengthened their grip on first place while the hosts remain in 14th position. It was a result that matched the expectations given both sides' recent form.

Skive had gone eight games without defeat, drawing seven and winning once. To be fair, that kind of resilience should have made them dangerous. But against a GOG side that had lost just once in eight league matches, it wasn't enough.

GOG's recent run told the story. They had won six of their previous seven league games, including victories over Fredericia, Seged and Aalborg. And here's the thing — they had also picked up a European win against Kristianstad on Thursday.

By then, the standings told their own tale. GOG sat on 15 points with seven wins and one defeat. Skive had only two points from one win and seven draws, though they had not lost a single league game this season.

The victory extends GOG's position at the top of the table. Skive's unbeaten run came to an end, and they remain adrift of the leaders. The gap between first and 14th is now wider than ever.
