The ESC Dorfen failed in the derby at the goalkeeper and made too many individual mistakes.

Dorfen

- The table situation was not good.

Even before the ice hockey derby between ESC Dorfen and TSV Erding, it was clear that both clubs would miss the playoffs and go into the relegation round.

So at the game on Sunday evening, the prestige memory came to the fore.

For two thirds it seemed as if the Erdinger should, after two wins so far (2:

1 at the autumn cup in Erding and 3-0 at the league game) this time to draw the short straw.

In the end they won 8: 4 (we reported).

After a 1-0 lead, despite the better chances in the first two thirds, the Eispiraten fell behind with two goals, and then after 3: 3 in the final third due to "some individual mistakes", said Dorfen's trainer Franz Steer at the press conference from the role to be.

The lion's share of the victory, which was ultimately too high, was played by the Czech David Hrazdira, who until recently was in the service of the Ice Pirates (see also the report above).

He is happy that they were able to take three points from Dorfen, but it was not easy, stated gladiator coach Thomas Vogl. You only came with 14 plus two players - and then, with Zimmermann and Bernhardt, had to take two more injured out of the game in the first third. He pointed out that his team had similar personnel problems as Dorfen. His general praise went to the twelve players who would have torn a game that was open for a long time. The first row in particular was phenomenal. Perhaps in his brief statement he had inadvertently forgotten an extra praise for his goalkeeper Schedlbauer. But ESC trainer Steer caught up with that. "We played against a very strong goalie."

It is not easy for the Dorfen coach.

He has had to deal with injured and sick players permanently since the beginning of the season, and the worst thing is "that some players who return after weeks have noticeable training deficits".

There are still only four defenders available to him. In addition, “we only have one block that can score goals”.

Against Erding, the ESC played very well with the appropriate pressure and had more of the game in the first two thirds.

“Then we unfortunately missed a penalty and, as mentioned, gave up the game due to individual mistakes.

They broke our necks because Erding made goals out of every mistake. ”Steer's conclusion:“ Apart from the individual mistakes, I can't blame the team. ”
