The second third is much more open than the first section. There are clear chances on both sides, almost every second.
26
20:30
Then the polar bears had a chance to counterattack, Felix Brückmann deflected Marcel Noebels’ high attempt with his shoulder to the side!
25
20:29
Puck loss of the Berliners. David Wolf is free and is just prevented from shooting by Hördler and Niederberger working together. Hördler then rushes into Niederberger and pushes the goalie into his box.
24
20:28
As at the beginning of the first third, the polar bears are currently finding their forecheck very good.
23
20:26
The eagles are by no means shocked and now have their own chance to counterattack. David Wolf lays diagonally from the left in front of the second post to Andrew Desjardins, who just fails at Mathias Niederberger!
21

Manuel Wiederer
Goal for Eisbären Berlin, 1-0 by Manuel Wiederer

20:24
As far as face-offs are concerned, the Eagles have the upper hand so far. So also now with the first bully in the second third.
20
20:07
third conclusion:
It’s still goalless, but it was still very exciting in the first third. The polar bears were slightly overweight and hit the post once and the crossbar once. The Eagles also put the disc on the bar once and were also able to set pinpricks from a well-organized defense. Anything is possible here today.

20:04
An average power play of the square townspeople. It doesn’t get that dangerous anymore.

19:57
In a direct countermove, Borna Rendulić hits the top edge of the ball from the inside right bar! The first goal is only a matter of time.
15
19:55
At first glance, Frank Hördler’s long-range shot promises no danger at all. But the disc will somehow still be attached to the bar diverted! Second aluminum goal of the polar bears.
14
19:53
In a numerical equal number, the Eagles can make things more balanced again and even establish themselves in the opposing half.
13
19:51
The home side can only build up pressure in the last 40 seconds. Matt White threw the disc from the left faceoff circle head-on to the right one Post!

Marcel Noebels tries from the second row. Korbinian Holzer stands inside, but gets the disc in his face. The referee interrupts immediately, but Holzer seems to be doing well given the circumstances.
5
19:37
David Wolf tries boldly from an acute angle. Such a one can also slip through.
4
19:36
Kevin Clark followed suit, under a lot of pressure the Eagles could only clear with icing.
3
19:34
In this way, the actors repeatedly fix the disc to the gang. Mark Katic can only free himself makeshift.

Due to the tight schedule, the final series could start tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. – provided the polar bears prevail. Since some long-term events are taking place in the Mercedes-Benz Arena, it would not be possible to hold them later.

18:45
With a 4:3 on Tuesday, the Eagles have worked out the crucial fifth game. In what was actually a balanced phase, Markus Eisenschmid slightly deflected a long-range Katic shot in the last third.
