19:26
Still a lot of idle time. It doesn’t seem as if the guests are rebelling again. The physicality is now completely out.
50
19:24
The game is flattening out a bit. Marc Michaelis also makes a bad pass.
48
19:22
And Luca Zitterbart also has to be commended again for intercepting a pass in the neutral zone. It is currently no longer an offensive spectacle by the DHB team, but Austria cannot really build up pressure either.
46
19:20
Madness parade from beam Meier! The disc jumps off his shoulder and would normally roll down his back. With the puck on his body, however, the Grizzly goalie falls forward and somehow takes the game device with him!
45
19:18
Lukas Haudum and Benjamin Nissner now get deals, but Dustin Strahlmeier can also excel. It’s a really strong DHB performance collectively, and the goalkeeper is also one of them.
44
19:17
Not much is burning here. Leon Hüttl from Ingolstadt, who is definitely recommended for further assignments, carries a large share.
42
19:14
Justin Schütz meets, but with the hand. He puts the rebound into the net in the best Maradona manner. Then he has to laugh himself.
41
19:11
The final section is on! Now the only thing left for the DHB team is not to collapse completely.
41
19:11
Beginning of 3rd third
40
18:55
third conclusion:
It remains a great performance by the DHB team! Defensively you don’t allow much, offensively you act extremely creatively. The goal to make it 3-0 was also preceded by a top-class combination, this time with Schütz, Ehl and Leonhardt, three of the younger players were involved. The lead could have been even higher.
40
18:52
Huge chance now also on the other side. Tim Wohlgemuth is staged in the slot over several stations, but he just gets caught by David Kickert! The former goalie of the Augsburger Panther saves Austria again from a higher deficit.
39
18:50
Huge counterattack opportunity for Austria as several Germans go down in the neutral zone! However, Eric Mik can stop the line of attacks single-handedly, he manages the back check at the last moment!
39
18:49
Kasper and Haudum have to go back to the bank for the guests. So far there has been no sign of the center talent drafted by the Red Wings except for a check against Dustin Strahlmeier.
38
18:48
Leon Hüttl from the second row, Alexander Blank deflects dangerously. Germany remains the more committed team!
36
18:46
Danjo Leonhardt rushes down the left wing at high speed, but then aims directly for the short corner instead of looking for the team-mate in the centre.
35
18:44
Offensively it remains a very inspired performance by the DHB team. For once, Marc Michaelis does not appear as a preparer and hits the crossbar from the second row!
34
18:43
As against Denmark, defender Leon Hüttl moves into the opposing third and takes part in the forecheck.
32
18:40
In the first round, Team Austria only got four shots on the box from Strahlmeier, in the middle section there are already ten of them. The mass has not yet been read.
31
18:39
The relaxation gives way immediately, because with the first scene after the power break, the guests bring a thousand times deflected beam from the neutral zone to Dustin Strahlmeier’s box! The Wolfsburg goalie instinctively dives to the left!
30
18:38
power break! Toni Söderholm gives his protégés new instructions, but of course seems very relaxed with the intermediate score of 3-0.
29
18:34
Goal for Germany, 3-0 by Danjo Leonhardt
Again Schütz is involved, this time with a strong opening pass from the right cushion. Alexander Ehl puts the left post through to Danjo Leonhardt, who threw the slightly fluttering disc into the near corner in baseball style!
28
18:34
But now! The series around Justin Schütz and Tim Wohlgemuth is making a lot of steam, the post is probably there somewhere.
28
18:32
Overall, Austria is now in a much better position again. Great chances are still scarce in the middle section on both sides.
27
18:31
Eric Mik can also deduct from the blue line, Tim Fleischer skillfully covers the view.
25
18:28
Luca Zitterbart is doing a top job defensively today and occasionally makes deals. Apart from the offensive top row, the native of Munich has the most to record in the service of DEG.
23
18:25
Double chance for the DHB team! Alexander Ehl aims for the long corner from the inside right position. David Kickert fends off the low shot to the side, where Tobi Eder actually only has to push in. However, Kickert somehow still keeps the bat out!
23
18:25
Contested start into the third, Germany continues to have a strong presence in the neutral zone.
21
18:22
The linesmen seem to have only now noticed that Stefan Gaffal is playing with an eight instead of a six. But he seems to be able to carry it on.
21
18:22
Beginning of 2nd third
20
18:04
third conclusion:
Huge applause for the German team, which has improved a lot over the course of the third and has almost played dream hockey in the last ten minutes! Andi Eder’s 1-0 came relatively out of nowhere. After the fight between Daniel Schmölz and David Maier, who are no longer allowed to participate here, the Söderholm protégés acted much more physically and constricted Austria with beautiful combinations over large parts of their own third. The shooting ratio of 13:4 speaks for itself, the lead could have been even higher.
20
18:00
The final minute is running, Germany is pushing for the 3-0! Alexander Ehl just takes a little too much time on the right corner.
19
17:59
Austria again complete, but the DHB team stays on the trigger. David Kickert defends against the Zitterbart conclusion from the second row with his shoulder!
18
17:57
Goal for Germany, 2-0 by Tobias Eder
The strong power play is rewarded! Andi Eder plays from the left cushion behind the goal to Marc Michaelis, who quickly forwards it to Tobi Eder, who is lurking at the slot. For the 24-year-old from DEG it is the first goal in national dress!
18
17:57
Seconds are played in the power play, Marc Michaelis comes to the first conclusion! Just a little later, Tobi Eder is in an even better position, and with a low shot to the long post he just manages to get caught on David Kickert’s schooner!
17
17:55
Minor penalty (2 minutes) for Simeon Schwinger (Austria)
First majority situation of the game. Simeon Schwinger keeps the bat in the neutral zone against Tim Fleischer.
15
17:53
After the fight between Schmölz and Maier, the German team is now holding up better physically.
13.
17:51
Overall, the DHB team is now much better in the encounter, and in the last third it looks very dynamic!
12.
17:49
Jan Luca Sennhenn can’t control the puck twice in a row. With the second jump, Dustin Strahlmeier prefers to pick up the disc.
11.
17:48
Three-on-one situation, Marc Michaelis just shoves the disc into the side netting from the left!
10
17:46
Match penalty (5 minutes + match penalty + suspension) for David Maier (Austria)
10
17:46
Match penalty (5 minutes + match penalty + suspension) for Daniel Schmölz (Germany)
10
17:46
On the Austrian side, it was David Maier who was involved in the boxing match. Full manpower continues as penalties cancel out. However, the game ended prematurely for both of them.
10
17:44
The gloves fly, so do the fists! Shortly before the power break, the mail goes off for the first time, Schmölz is involved.
10
17:44
Daniel Schmölz lays down for Luis Schinko, who gets stuck on David Kickert in the slot. Big chance!
9.
17:43
Indeed. Not every pass arrives, but the stakes are now there. Frederik Tiffels brings the disc in sharply from the left, only the taker at the far post is missing.
8th.
17:40
The opening goal had not really been indicated. But maybe he’ll give the DHB team a boost now.
6.
17:39
Goal for Germany, 1-0 by Andreas Eder
The top formation puts a top combination on the ice! Frederik Tiffels makes a strong save for Marc Michaelis on the left wing. He has the overview for Andi Eder, who only has to hold the bat in the slot!
6.
17:38
Good forecheck now also from the German team! But Tobias Eder has no choice but to play in the back again.
5.
17:36
Daniel Schmölz gets a hard check from Thimo Nickl. You could have thought about the first penalty, Schmölz crashed into the Plexiglas.
4.
17:35
Eric Mik loses the disc near the gang. This time, however, the Söderholm protégés can free themselves.
2.
17:33
The DHB team actually has problems with the Austrian Forecheck. Two men close the rooms.
1.
17:32
And off! Germany in black, Austria in white. Team Austria immediately interferes early and comes to a first conclusion through Lukas Haudum.
17:27
The anthems are playing. Now all you have to do is drive the cars off the ice and then you can start here!
17:22
The Germans Starting Six: Dustin Strahlmeier guards the box, Eric Mik and Leon Hüttl defend and Marc Michaelis, Frederik Tiffels and Andreas Eder form the attacking line. The 22-year-old Berliner Mik is making his national team debut today.
17:19
The venue in Krefeld is also under scrutiny. In the meantime it has even been decided that the Germany Cup will take place in another city in the next few years – Schwenningen should be interested. Only about a thousand spectators came to the Yayla Arena yesterday, let’s see how many there will be today.
17:03
The German appearance at the start of the tournament, on the other hand, could be expanded. Although Denmark could be defeated 3:2 by a Schmölz goal in overtime, most of the young players could not really convince. Returnee Dominik Bokk, who is currently on loan for newly promoted Frankfurt, was also unable to set any accents. Since the next major tournament, the 2023 World Cup, will only take place in around six months, this edition of the Germany Cup is primarily about whether young players can play in the limelight.
16:56
Austria is taking part in the Germany Cup for the first time this year, so it goes into the match against the hosts and defending champions as outsiders. However, the starting position is not that clear: Austria surprisingly started the tournament with a win against Olympic bronze medalist Slovakia and has a top talent in 18-year-old center Marco Kasper, who this year is eighth from the Detroit Red Wings was drafted.
16:49
Have a nice evening and welcome to the second game of the national team at the Germany Cup! After the opening win against Denmark, the young team should also be successful against Austria. It starts at 5:30 p.m. in Krefeld!
