Ni 12.500 navijača u SAP Areni u Manhajmu nisu mogli da spreče Kil da odnese bodove u velikom nemačkom derbiju – 27:24 (11:12). Slovenački „plejmejker“ Miha Zarabec održao je čas rukometa za svoj 27. rođendan. Nekadašnji srednji bek Celja PL postigao je pet golova i sjajno upravljao napadom „Zebri“, koje je sa druge strane uspešno odbranio Niklas Landin sa 12 odbrana.
