Zollingen defeated TUS Lintfort Women 27:24 on 29 August in the 2. Bundesliga. The result lifted the visitors into fourth place while the hosts remained in fifteenth. Both teams had played two matches by then, with Zollingen holding four points and Lintfort still at zero.
The visitors were already unbeaten before this fixture. They had opened with a 32:25 victory over SG Waiblingen Women on 21 August, followed by a heavy 32:42 defeat to Borussia Dortmund two weeks earlier. Lintfort's recent record showed no wins either — they drew both of their opening games, including a 18:23 loss to Bad Wildungen on 8 August.
This was the second meeting between the sides this season. They had drawn 24:24 in April at Zollingen's ground. Since then both clubs have changed fortunes slightly, though Lintfort have not won since their opening fixtures and the table stays where it is.
Zollingen's attack looked sharper across both matches. They scored 64 goals in their two games compared to Lintfort's 42, and their defensive discipline held firm against both mid-table and top-tier opposition. The visitors put the game to bed with a strong second half, when Lintfort seemed to lose their shape.
The result keeps Zollingen among the teams pushing for promotion places. Lintfort now face a difficult run, needing points quickly if they want to climb out of the bottom half. The gap between them — four points after two rounds — already tells the story of the season so far.
