Dorfen - ESC Kempten turned the tables on Sunday, and ESC Dorfen took away the three points from Friday with 4: 1 goals (0: 1, 4: 0, 0: 0).
Jan Smolko as coach for the Eispiraten on the bench was the most serious change in personnel.
Trainer Franz Steer had contact with a Corona-positive and stayed away from his protégés to be on the safe side, despite his own negative test result.
Defender Simon Franz opened the game. Irresistibly he went through and chased the disc to 1-0 into the network. The rest of that third was a lively exchange of blows with no countable return. Nikolas Oppenberger had the greatest goal opportunity for the guests when he was able to head unhindered towards Luca Endres, but the ESC goalie had better nerves. Tomas Vrba and David Hrazdira had more hits on the racket.
The second third started promisingly. After 40 seconds, Vrba served for Hrazdira, who failed because of Harß. Then it seemed as if the ice pirates had left all the necessary virtues in the cabin. Even if they found every now and then that offenses that were punished against them were not complained so consistently among the guests. The first penalty period of this second period brought Kemptens compensation through Stefan Rott after a real state of siege. The Sharks leadership by Robert Lepine was also the result of a majority.
Seconds later, Jonas Blaha lay motionless. The young ESC striker was able to go into the dressing room himself, but for Kemptens Mario Seider the game ended with 5 penalty minutes plus playing time. Because of an advantage - when goalkeeper Endres and two defenders did not clear a free stroke energetically enough, they duped Lepine with his second goal. For a good minute, the ice pirates did not know what to do with a double majority.
27 seconds before the break, the guests were again more determined in front of the ESC gate.
Nikolas Oppenberger increased to 4: 1.
Back from the break, the ice pirates tried everything again.
Jennifer Harß in the Sharks box is not the national goalkeeper for nothing and could not be beaten with the means that Dorfen used that evening.
Even a well-managed last section of the game with a significant increase in chances didn't change anything.
