Korneuburg triumphs in the derby: FALKEN fail after a strong comeback!

In today's exciting duel in the handball group West, Union Sparkasse Korneuburg achieved a remarkable victory against FALKEN St. Pölten. The game, which took place on November 16, 2025, was characterized by a strong performance from Korneuburg, who were already leading by an impressive six goals at halftime.

In a game full of dynamism, Korneuburg, led by Jakob Winkler, who scored a total of eight goals, was in control of the action. Jonas Rattensperger and Leon Dijkstra also showed their skills with seven and six goals. The Korneuburg defense, supported by a solid team performance, withstood the pressure of the FALKEN for long periods, who fought their way back in the second half. After a temporary equalizer in the 55th minute, the hosts showed nerves and closed the bag thanks to their strong mentality. Andi Kreutzwiesner from Korneuburg summed up: “We had a great start and were able to keep it going until the end with a lot of flow,” which underlines the great team dynamics.

Review of the game

The FALKEN St. Pölten were not able to show the desired performance in the game against Korneuburg today. After the game, coach Damir Djukic criticized the lack of implementation of the tactical guidelines, especially in the first half, where his team underestimated their opponents. "Korneuburg is better than their position in the table suggests. We had to accept our own performance, which simply wasn't enough," explained Djukic in frustration.

The list of throwers shows that Matthias Bruckner was the best thrower for the guests with seven goals, followed by Jan Neumaier and Kevin Wieninger with five goals each. Despite these individual achievements, the FALKEN were unable to muster the necessary team play to be able to hold a candle to Korneuburg.

The importance of match analysis in modern football

In an age in which game analysis is becoming increasingly important in a sporting context, one could note that stronger analytical methods should also be used in handball, similar to football. A systematic look at games, which can reveal a team's strengths and weaknesses, is becoming increasingly crucial to developing long-term strategies. With the right technologies, such as video analytics and GPS tracking, teams like the FALKEN could benefit from an objective assessment of their performance to ensure future success. The possibilities offered by modern sports analysis are easy to understand - from tactics to technical aspects to physical and psychological analysis - everything contributes to optimizing performance and can be crucial for the development of a team.

It remains to be seen how the teams will adapt in the coming hours and weeks. The lessons learned from today's games could be fundamental for both teams. Korneuburg has shown that they are ready to fight for the top, while St. Pölten needs to work on their stability.
