Cologne started with two home wins against Nuremberg (5:1) and Ingolstadt (4:1), and then also won in Munich (5:2). On Sunday the Rhenish derby against Düsseldorf took place in the Lanxass Arena. And the DEG gave the KEC its first defeat of the season – but only after a penalty shootout (3:4). The Haie have scored points in all of their games so far.

Initially, Iserlohn had a good start to the new season. At the start, the Sauerlanders won 3-2 in Frankfurt. However, this good early form did not last. At the home opener they lost 7-2 to Schwenningen at Seilersee. In Mannheim they lost 2:4. Last Sunday there was a 2:3 at home after a penalty shootout against Ingolstadt, which meant at least the first home point.

Yesterday the Haie were dethroned as league leaders by Mannheim, but could immediately regain their place in the sun with a win today. To do this, the person currently in second place has to pass the twelfth. That could be a solvable task, because with 16 goals conceded, the Roosters are the league’s shooting gallery. However, only four complete match days have been completed.
