Berlin Survive Late Scare to Win Season Opener

Berlin began their season with a hard-fought triumph, edging Melsungen 33-31 on the opening matchday. The home side looked comfortably in control at the break, having built an eight-goal advantage during the first half.

However, Melsungen produced a spirited response after the interval, turning the contest into a tense and dramatic finish. Despite the pressure, Berlin managed to hold their nerve and preserve enough of their lead to secure the win.

The result gives Berlin a positive start to the campaign, even if the manner of victory suggested there is work to do in closing out matches more comfortably.
