The Eisbären Berlin can still win: After four defeats in a row, there was another victory in the German ice hockey league on Friday. The Berliners won a close game in Augsburg in extra time.
The Eisbären Berlin won the German Ice Hockey League (DEL) at the Augsburg Panther in overtime. After the last four DEL defeats in series, the still weakened team of coach Serge Aubin prevailed on Friday afternoon 4: 3 (1: 0, 1: 2, 1: 1, 1: 0) after extra time.
The German striker Frederik Tiffels only scored to win shortly before the end and then right at the beginning of the extension.
Augsburg with opportunities – hit polar bears
It was not a high-class one, but an exciting DEL game. The game started lively and both teams had some degrees in the first few minutes. Augsburg had a slight overweight in the initial phase, but overall the game was balanced at the start of the first third.
After almost five minutes, the hosts got better and more powerful. The Berliners were just able to ward off two good opportunities by Alexander Blank within a very short time. As a result, the polar bears then caused more relief again – and even came to the lead. After a great chance of Augsburg and an already playful polar bear counter, the puck came to Eric Mik via detours, who scored free-standing to 1-0 (18th).
The leadership for the reigning German champion for the first break was not happy, but also not really deserved.
Berlin increases, but Augsburg stays on it
After the third break, the polar bears were immediately back in the game and increased their leadership. It took almost 50 seconds to Patrick Khodorenko The 2-0 scored (21st). Michael Garteig in the Augsburg Gate didn’t look good in the scene.
However, the polar bears did not take over full control over the encounter. Again and again Augsburg came dangerously in front of the Berlin goal, but polar bear goalie Jake Hildebrand showed a strong performance.
In the 33rd minute, the American could no longer prevent the connection goal. Cody Kunyk brought the hosts back into play. Augsburg then equalized 39 seconds before the third end. After a liquid combination, it was DJ Busdeker who scored the 2-2 (40th).
As in the end in Schwenningen (1: 2) The Berliners played a lead again.
“It is not wrong to lose together”
Four defeats in a row recently made the bad start of the season of the Eisbären Berlin perfect. It is unusual for the team, but also for the successful fans. However, they keep calm – at least according to Superfan Spencer parts.more
Game lives from the tension
Both teams began the third round cautiously and waiting. Both teams tried not to make any decisive mistakes. So it became a tough, but increasingly exciting section. After all, it was Florian Elias (54th) who scored 3-2 for Augsburg. But the polar bears now put pressure on, brought a sixth field player on the ice for Hildebrand – and came to equalize. After a great pass from KHodorenko, Frederik Tiffels made a late equalization (59.).
In the overtime it was again Tiffels who scored the 4: 3 winning goal after a few seconds and, despite the loss of dot, ended the Berlin defeat series.
