Minne, who joined the SG from Nantes, made his mark with six goals. The newly signed Danish world champion Emil Bergholt (5 goals) was also one of Flensburg's key offensive players. His Danish compatriot Simon Pytlick was Flensburg's top scorer with seven goals, as the team narrowly avoided a disastrous start with a 5-1 run in the final minutes.
Simon Pytlick left the game in the second half with a cut near his eyebrow but got the injury under control, returned to the court, and played a decisive role.
