For one of the Schongau players it was a return to an old place of work.
Matthias Müller will have good memories of the guest performance in Peißenberg.
Schongau
– The return from the corona break did not go as planned for the Peißenberg “Miners”.
In the Bavarian League derby against EA Schongau, coach Christian Kratzmeir's men had to pay tribute to the aftermath of the involuntary time-out, but also to a strong opponent.
The “mammoths” won 5:3 (1:2, 2:0, 2:1).
Not only did they make amends for the 2-1 defeat in the first leg, they also moved past the defeated Peißenbergers in the table after their seventh win in a row.
An ex-Peißenberger played a key role in the success against the "Miners": striker Matthias Müller scored twice.
The victory of the Schongauer is absolutely fine.
Peißenberg's coach Christian Kratzmeir
"The victory of the Schongauer is absolutely fine," Kratzmeir agreed after the not necessarily high-class, but very exciting and also fair derby with EAS coach Rainer Höfler.
"We were exhausted in the last third", recognized Kratzmeir.
After a break of almost three weeks and only a few training sessions, his team was increasingly exhausted, which the mellow Schongauer used coldly.
"Obviously we weren't that excited about the derby in the first third, Peißenberg was clearly dominant there," Höfler admitted his team's sleepy start.
Ice hockey: Peißenberg got off to a better start
The "Miners" got off to a better start in front of 450 spectators, who created a great atmosphere.
Markus Andrä surprised EAS goalkeeper Philipp Wieland with a shot into the near post – 1:0 (6th).
After that, there was little from Schongau, apart from a chance from Philipp Seelmann (9th).
Otherwise, the hosts, with whom Valentin Hörndl made his comeback after a break of several months due to illness, determined the events.

The EAS also had a returnee in their ranks in Norbert Löw. The 34-year-old, who had hung up his skates almost five years ago and then briefly went on the ice again for Bad Bayersoien, showed his ice hockey pension. "He still needs some time," said Höfler, who saw another reinforcement with Milos Vavrusa. The 43-year-old veteran with a wealth of experience from 650 DEL2 and Oberliga games acted inconspicuously. "He's only trained with us twice. But you can see his routine. I am convinced that he will strengthen us,” said Höfler, whose team was still under pressure in the first half. Tomas Rousek missed a good chance for his team during an outnumbered game by the "Miners".A little later, Niko Fissekis punished a goal lost by the guests in their own third with the 2:0 (13th). As a result, Peißenbergs Kratzmeir used some junior staff to spare his not-yet-fit permanent staff. Ironically, when one of these U20 players was sitting in the penalty box, the Schongauer struck. Florian Seelmann used the first EAS power play to score the goal (15th). "You could tell that the Schongauers were slowly taking over the reins," admitted Kratzmeir.that the Schongauers are slowly taking over the command,” confessed Kratzmeir.that the Schongauers are slowly taking over the command,” confessed Kratzmeir.
Ice hockey: From the second third Schongau is getting stronger
In the middle section, the "mammoths" got stronger and stronger. Outnumbered, Florian Höfler also managed to equalize (25'). Afterwards, Fritz Weinfurtner missed the first Schongau lead (26th) when he had a big chance. Instead, Matthias Müller marked it shortly after a controversial penalty against Fissekis (36th). The ex-Peißenberger hit from an acute angle.

Right at the beginning of the final round, Mathias Schuster increased the lead to 4:2 for EAS with a powerful shot from the blue line during a power play (41st).
The immediate connection goal by Dejan Vogl (42nd) fueled the hopes of the "Miners" fans for a turnaround.
Max Malzatzki also had a chance to equalize, but missed it (44th).
After that, the home side increasingly ran out of steam.
This was particularly evident in two overtime games in a row when they didn't create a significant chance.
Instead, Müller made it 5:3 (53 rd ) with the guests' third power play goal that evening and thus the decision.
