The team of coach Pavel Gross led until three minutes before the end, but then had to admit defeat at the Nürnberg Ice Tigers with 2:3 (1:1, 1:0, 0:2).
32 seconds before the final siren, Mannheim conceded the decisive goal from Gregor MacLeod. The goals of Florian Elias and Olympic participant Lean Bergmann were not enough for the Eagles. Because of Corona cases and the Olympic break, it was the first game for the Adler in more than a month.
