EC Peiting was ahead three times against ECDC Memmingen, but the guests had the better end for themselves.
After all, the home side still had one point - after an entertaining game.
Peiting - Somehow it was already clear that regular time would not be enough.
Of the eight previous duels between EC Peiting and ECDC Memmingen, five were decided in overtime or penalty shootouts.
In yesterday's league comparison, a shoot-out was announced again.
The guests from Memmingen got the upper hand with 5: 4.
Bitter for the ECP, who was in the lead three times in the game.
At the beginning, the Peitinger - once again only with a small squad (16 field players / 2 keepers) - determined the event.
Lukas Gohlke hit the rods of the Memminger Tor (5th), which this time was guarded by Jennifer Harß, from a short distance.
A few moments later, Martin Hlozek got the puck in a central position.
In previous games, the striker was often unlucky in the end - now he confidently sank the target to make it 1-0 (5th).
A penalty time against the Peitinger brought the Memminger into play.
The post prevented compensation (11th).
As a result, the guests had more opportunities.
The 1-1 draw was unfortunate from the ECP's point of view: Elias Maier had the puck stolen from behind the goal, Marvin Schmid overcame keeper Florian Hechenrieder (18th).
EC Peiting leads 3-1 in the middle third, then Memmingen strikes back
In the middle section, Thomas Heger (21st) and Daniel Reichert (26th) failed each free-standing.
A counterattack that was well worth seeing brought the Peitinger back into the lead: Nardo Nagtzaam got the target played precisely into the barrel;
he pulled away alone and scored to 2: 1 (28th).
Andreas Feuerecker (29th) and Maximilian Söll (32nd) were close to another hit.
In this phase Memmingen hardly came out of the defensive zone.
A heavy slap shot in the power play by Gohlke meant that 3: 1 (34th) Was the puck that jumped back into the field actually in it?
The referees said “yes”.
Memmingen hit back immediately: Just 24 seconds later, Christopher Kasten scored the 2: 3.
The guests used their next excess to equalize 3: 3;
Myles Fitzgerald gave Hechenrieder no chance with his powerful slap shot (38th).
In the final third it was Reichert who caused danger several times at the beginning.
One of his actions also initiated Nagtzaam's overpowering goal to make it 4: 3 (46th).
But this leadership did not last either.
Memmingen's Linus Svedlund scored 4: 4 in the power play (52nd).
The game was then even.
Both Peiting (54th) and Memmingen (59th) left an outnumbered game unused.
Martin Mazanec's violent shot (57th) brought nothing either.
Exciting penalty shootout with a total of twelve attempts
In the extension, the Peitinger could rely on keeper Hechenrieder.
He parried all Memmingen attempts.
The ECP had to survive the last minute and a half again in the minority - and did so. In the penalty shootout, the guests had the better end for themselves.
Fitzgerald converted the eleventh attempt.
Then Gohlke failed because of keeper Harß - the ECP only had one point.
