The Dresden Eislöwen lost the fifth game in the final series against the Ravensburg Towerstars. In a invited game, both teams showed a real spectacle, especially in the second third.
The Dresden Eislöwen awarded the first matchpuck of the final series. In Ravensburg there was nothing to celebrate for the Elbstädter after a wild exchange of blows and a 4: 7 (0: 1, 3: 4, 1: 2).
Dresden begins carefully
Due to the 3: 1 stand in the series, the under pressure began to lively and put cautious Dresdener under pressure, which could hardly play the puck out of their own defensive zone. After four minutes it got out of the birch trees for the first time, but the player of the 2018 World Cup parried the punched shots and initially secured 0-0.
Both teams let it pop on every contact.
However, this changed a little later: the ice lions clarified a quickly performed attack on the floor of Fabio Sarto. The 20-year-old took his head up centrally in front of the goal and slammed the puck to 1-0 in the upper right angle (9th). Shortly thereafter, Louis Latta had the great chance of 0: 2, but put the disc past the goal after a breakaway (16th). With 6:15 shots and a deserved 0-1 lead for Ravensburg, we went into the break.
Wild second third
While the first third was still very leisurely, both teams delivered a real spectacle in the second 20 minute. The tower stars started like the fire brigade and, after 56 seconds, increased to 0: 2: Adam Payerl picked up a rebound from the Dresden goalie, pulled around the goal and hit the birch with the help of Danny. Just eleven seconds later he became a pitch bird again when Max Hadraschek wanted to play the puck behind the Eislöwen goal in the middle and this time the back of the goalkeeper swept the puck to 0: 3 into goal.
As a result, there was even bitter for Dresden. Andrew Yogan had to go into the box after a check with the stick and the majority also used the Ravensburger, after less than three minutes played in the second third by Mathew Santos to 0: 4. Shortly afterwards, the TowerStars goalkeeper Ilya Sharipov helped the Eislöwen into the game: the goalie let the goalie through his legs 1: 4. The Upper Swabia immediately followed up: Robbie Czarnik crashed a whopping shot from left to 1: 5 into the net (32nd).
Sebastian Gorcik marked the sixth goal of a wild second third.
Anyone who thought that five goals had been enough action for a third had been wrong. In the majority of Dresden, Dresden combined by the attack zone to Drew Leblanc, who hit the post by Wristshot. Sebastian Gorcik reacted the fastest and successfully poked for 2: 5 (34th). Just ten seconds after the goal, Dresden was again overnight and another 18 seconds after the rebound of Tomas Sykora, only 3: 5. Since Andrew Yogan failed on the post during the third majority, after a spectacular 20 minutes we went 3: 5 into the second break.
Ravensburg remains confident
In the last third, Ravensburg managed to push the Dresden back and to increase quickly: The strong Payerl prevailed on the right track after 43 minutes and shot flat into the far corner to 3: 6. Although Yogan hit the 4: 6 in the Knick (52nd), in the middle of the Dresden print phase the board game cityers countered and made the lid on a wild game with the 4: 7 (57.).
After the defeat, the final series is only 3-2 for the ice lion, which on Sunday (5 p.m., in the live ticker at Sport in the East) In the domestic hall, turn the second matchpuck and make the climb perfectly.
