Ferndorf extend unbeaten run with away win over Ludwigshafen
Ferndorf secured a 34-27 victory away to Ludwigshafen in the Second Bundesliga on Friday evening. The result extends their unbeaten start to two matches, both of which they have won. Ludwigshafen remain winless in their opening two games of the campaign.
Ferndorf sit fourth in the table with four points from two victories. They have yet to drop a point this season. Ludwigshafen occupy 13th place with zero points from two draws — though the match itself ended in a loss, confirming they have now failed to win either of their opening fixtures.
The visitors have shown they can score freely. Their previous results include a 41-33 win over Bergischer and a 36-29 victory against Hannover-Burgdorf. They kept knocking on the door in that latter game before pulling away. Ludwigshafen have struggled for consistency, losing three of their last four matches before this one.
On paper, the gap between the two sides was already visible. Fernando's two wins put them in contention for a higher finish. Ludwigshafen's position at the bottom of the table means they will need to turn things around quickly if they want to avoid relegation trouble.
The scoreline tells the story of a match Fernando controlled from start to finish. They never let the hosts back into it after taking the lead. The visitors now have one foot in a strong position for the second half of the season.
