ESC trainer Franz Steer is annoyed after the bankruptcy in Buchloe

Dorfen – ESV Buchloe won 6:1 (1:0, 3:1, 2:0) against ESC Dorfen.

However, both coaches agreed that this does not reflect the game shares.

However, as is well known, results and tables do not lie either.

ESV Buchloe's buccaneers had lost six of their seven games - and with them the chances of a place in the top eight.

In the last home game they even had to admit defeat to the backbencher Pegnitz.

So the ice pirates certainly didn't tackle the 130 kilometers to the Ostallgäu in a completely hopeless manner.

"But we were anything but a force," sporting director Hans Ertl had to admit after the game.

What he chalked up to his team was the perceived 70 percent share of the game in the second third, "but we just don't score any goals".

Coach Franz Steer, who saw a very good start for his team with a lot of pressure, took the same line, "and then we conceded a majority goal".

When Buchloe's veteran Alexander Krafczyk sunk the disc behind goalkeeper Andreas Marek to make it 1-0, Florian Fischer's penalty time had ended exactly two seconds earlier.

Almost four minutes at a time, the ice pirates were then allowed to try one more man.

Steer "saw a very good majority play by his team, but we just couldn't score the goal".

In his eyes, his team almost beat themselves in the second third.

"Bad pass, bad pass, hit": That's how Steer Buchloes saw 2-0 through Philipp Wolf.

For Steer, Felix Schurr's 3-0 was "more of an own goal after a pressing shot, and then you're 3-0 down because Buchloe used his chances effectively".

With his first goal of the season to make it 3-1, defender Alexander Kanzelsberger brought his ESC back into play.

Four seconds before the next break, the game was practically decided when Krafczyk, outnumbered, was able to pull away to make it 4:1.

"Yesterday I explained to my defenders what they should do in such situations on the opponent's blue line, and then you get such a shorthander," Steer annoyed.

It wasn't the evening of the Dorfen Ice Pirates, but that of Alexander Krafczyk.

The 34-year-old scored a third time - for Franz Steer "another own goal".

Christian Wittmann filled the half-dozen with a majority.

Dorfen's Christof Hradek had previously conceded "five plus playing time".

Steer couldn't really get used to this decision, "because the player from Buchloe had already fallen into the gang before he made contact".

Buchloes Philipp Zabel couldn't go any further.

Steer concludes: "We invested a lot, didn't have any luck with the shots, but these bad passes and loss of shots really get on my nerves."
