Fuchse Berlin defeated Werder Bremen 32:29 in the German Cup (women) on Thursday evening. The match took place at the club's home venue and concluded with a two-goal margin for the hosts.
Berlin had not won their last two encounters, falling 26:33 and 26:29 to Halle-Neustadt in consecutive outings. Werder Bremen came into the fixture with mixed form, having secured victories against Kirchhof Women and Rostock Women but also suffered defeats to HSG Freiburg and Mainz.
The result gives Berlin a positive note after their recent setbacks. Werder Bremen's away record in this competition shows they can be vulnerable, having lost three of their last five matches against various opponents.
Both teams will now look to build on this outcome as the cup campaign continues. Berlin's victory provides momentum, while Werder Bremen must regroup after the narrow defeat.
