EC Peiting shows morale, but also gambles away a lead

Rollercoaster ride for EC Peiting: against EV Lindau the team was first behind and then - in the last third - in front.

In the end there was only one point.

Peiting - The battle for direct entry into the play-offs remains tight: In the home game on Friday against EV Lindau, EC Peiting only scored one point - although they were still in the lead shortly before the end.

The ECP lost 5:6 after a penalty shootout.

Nevertheless, Peiting was lucky: At the same time, the direct competitor Höchstadt lost 3:5 to Füssen.

"It's always a tough nut to crack against Lindau," said ECP coach Anton Saal.

The previous duels always ended with a goal difference.

"Morale was good.

We kept coming back,” said Saal – his team was behind three times.

However, when the ECP finally took the lead, it was also clear: “We didn’t make it over time.” The coach was annoyed by “how we conceded the goals.

We are sometimes too reckless in construction.”

Dominic Krabbat had certainly imagined the start of his 600th league game differently.

After only 63 seconds, the Peitinger striker had to go to the penalty box.

And in this minority, the hosts conceded the 0:1 through Corvin Wucher (3rd).

Bad luck for ECP goalkeeper Andreas Magg in this scene, as the puck bounced back from the rink, unfortunate for him.

The equalizer soon came: defender Alexander Winkler scored the 1:1 (5th minute) with a flick.

Shortly before that, Lukas Motloch had hit the linkage.

As a result, the ECP had several chances in a double majority, but he was denied a goal.

After a shot deflected by Krabbat, Peitinger thought the puck was in the goal (but it was on the line), in return, Lindau's Julian Tischendorf scored the 2-1 (10th).

After a phase of mixed play on both sides, Peiting put the pressure on.

Motloch and Florian Stauder failed in quick succession.

With a flick, Stauder made it 2-2 (16th).

In the middle section, Simon Maier had a huge chance after a few seconds, but EVL keeper Matthias Nemec saved.

The guests quickly digested the moment of shock – Andreas Farny scored to give Lindauer a 3-2 lead (23rd).

As a result, Peiting had trouble putting himself in the limelight.

EVL keeper Nemec was lucky when Krabbat shot (28').

Seconds later, Motloch made a bad pass, which Lindau's Martin Mairitsch punished with the 4:2 (28th).

Marco Habermann, whose ECP contract extension for the coming season had been announced before the game, narrowly missed the goal (29').

Krabbat was more fortunate, who scored the 3:4 (30') after a good pass by Daniel Reichert.

In another double majority, Ty Morris showed his routine and scored with a precise shot to make it 4:4 (33rd).

Lindau got back on track and the result was several chances.

"Each team had its phases in the game," said Saal.

Practically with the final siren, ECP top scorer Nardo Nagtzaam failed at the keeper.

Peiting started the final third with vehemence.

Maier hit the side netting, seconds later there was another chance.

The next action was successful: Morris put the ball across to Stauder, who scored to make it 5:4 (42nd).

Several EVL possibilities followed.

As a result, the game flattened out.

Markus Czogallik made a good save, but shot wide (54').

A good individual action by Mairitsch led to the 5:5 (58th).

Was the puck really in the net?

Anyway, the goal counted.

Both teams had good chances in overtime.

In the penalty shoot-out, Peiting advanced with two goals (Stauder, Nagtzaam), but Lindau forced the equalizer.

Then Mairitsch scored, Nagtzaam failed – Peiting had lost.
