Seven strikers, four defenders: Decimated Tölzer Löwen get a 7-4 victory in Freiburg.
A gala evening especially for Leo striker Cam Spiro.
Bad Tölz - The Tölz strikers are getting fewer and fewer.
But the goal scoring more and more: With only seven offensive forces - plus the four players who are used to defense - the Lions defeated EHC Freiburg in its hall on Sunday evening.
The ex-Freiburg Cam Spiro left his calling card by almost single-handedly shooting down the wolves in the 7: 4 success with five hits.
The decision was made shortly before the end of the middle third.
In a phase when Tölz had presented to 3: 1, but Freiburg was on the trigger and reduced it to 2: 3, the guests moved away with three goals within six minutes to 6: 2.
“We used our chances, fought like warriors, the win was very important for us,” said coach Kevin Gaudet happily.

But he was also a little annoyed. Because it stayed exciting until the final phase. "After 6-2 you think, well, that's it," but we took stupid punishments and let Freiburg come again. "The wolves have not yet given up. Maximilian Leitner had to go to the penalty box, a Freiburg counterattack, Tyson McLellan put Liam Finlay on the outside, who slammed the target into the net - 3: 6, a really nice hit. And one that the EHC reported back with: A little later, Tölz 'Dennis Miller went into the cool box, and Freiburg used the power play again. Marc Wittfoth shortened to 4: 6, once again the Tölzer were outnumbered. But they gritted their teeth, fought the tiredness down and braced themselves against the angry attacks of wolves. 49:18 shots on goal in favor of Freiburg speak a clear language.But the goals spoke for Tölz. The forces dwindled, "our tank was empty," says Gaudet. But Hertel held onto the victory.
Even a break in Freiburg didn't change that.
Goalkeeper Patrik Cerveny, who came in the final third for the hapless Luis Benzing, stayed out.
But the disc no longer went into the goal.
At least not in Tölzer: Cam Spiro - who else on this evening?
- scored to 7: 4 into the empty goal.
Hard-fought victory of the decimated pride of lions, with which they moved up to tenth place.
Delay after six seconds
The clear pile had to accept a backlog after six seconds. Gaudet: “Like a kick in the balls. I've never seen such an early goal. ”But twice Cam Spiro turned the match to 2-1 after just three minutes. The lions did not give up the leadership until the end. On the one hand, this was due to a goalkeeper Jimmy Hertel, who was in a good mood that day and unpacked strong saves. On the other hand, the four Tölz defenders fought as best they could and did not allow themselves many mistakes. One happened to Ian Brady when he ricocheted off a disc in front of his own goal to Philip Feist, who reduced the score to 2: 3. A dicey situation because Freiburg could have reported back. But Spiro restored the old lead a little later, the game was over. Gaudet: "We have found a wayto bring home the victory. "
