SC Riessersee celebrates an unchallenged 4:1 away win at EHC Klostersee and climbs to fourth place in the ice hockey Oberliga Süd table.

Grafing – The interplay continues happily.

At SC Riessersee, victory follows defeat – and vice versa.

After the somewhat unfortunate home defeat against Weiden, the Garmisch-Partenkirchen team got their first win of the new year in the Grafinger Wildbräu barn.

But, you have to be honest: Anything but a mandatory victory over the decimated and harmless bottom would have been difficult to explain.

At EHC Klostersee, the work in front of the opposing goal was primarily worthwhile for the SCR.

In the end it was like the first guest appearance in Grafing 1:4.

There was a small adversity before the game.

Lubor Dibelka broke off the warm-up, slipped back into his training clothes and watched his colleagues from outside the Plexiglas.

Suspicious signals from the thigh prompted the 39-year-old to take precautionary measures.

"I felt something, I don't want to take any risks," the Riessersee top scorer explains his involuntary withdrawal with a slightly gloomy mood.

Sure, against Klostersee the chances of further scoring points for the exceptional striker were good.

For Dibelka, Aziz Ehliz took the place in the block alongside Robin Soudek and Kevin Slezak.

The SCR dominated events from the start – but without any real highlights.

Rosenheim's coach Jari Pasanen recently said that in his opinion the tight deadlines around the turn of the year are at the expense of the quality of the game.

This thesis was confirmed on Wednesday evening.

Attacks mostly consisted of shots from the outside positions and the associated follow-up, once the side netting was involved.

Dominik Gräubig was not seriously challenged in the ECH box, although he always had to be on his guard.

For Michael Boehm, however, this only applied to a very limited extent.

The tail light, who started without seven regulars, only very rarely made it near his workplace in the white-blue goal.

On the other side, Tobias Kircher took the lead in the middle of the first third.

At the blue line, the center forward delayed in a central position until Alexander Höller positioned himself squarely in front of Gräubig and blocked the goalie's field of vision for the flick - 0:1.

After that, Ehliz and Marlon Wolf missed the second goal on the side of the goalpost before the EHC, outnumbered, could ignite its only two sources of fire.

Nevertheless, the decision was not long in coming.

Höller was less than half a minute back from the penalty box when he scored to make it 0:2.

Sam Verelst had fired, Graubig fended off with his schooner right in front of Höller's trowel.

Verelst was also the initiator of the third SCR goal in the final minute of the middle section.

It is logical that the final section turned out to be something of a freestyle.

Ehliz made it 4-0 with the guests' third rebound goal.

However, there was no shutout for Boehm.

Klostersee scored the consolation goal in a 2-1 situation.

The zero was gone, but not the three points.
