VfL Gummersbach has lost its first group match in the European League.
Polish first division club Wybrzeze Danzig lost to VfL 34:38 (19:17) despite a half-time lead.
After a 3-0run, the guests scored five goals after just 13 minutes. Gummersbach's new signing Nikola Roganovic brought his team back up within ten minutes with five goals and met for the first Gummersbach lead shortly before the break.

Nine Roganovic goals are not enough
This lasted only five minutes in the second round. Then the guests from Poland equalised again and in the last quarter of an hour they moved away with four goals.
In the end, Gdansk took home two points, mainly thanks to a strong team performance. Roganovic once again dominated the VfL with nine goals.
