ESC Geretsried missed the 3:4 defeat against ESV Buchloe in the last home game to make the league prematurely perfect
Geretsried – The Geretsried ice hockey team was happy for 74 seconds on Friday about the premature relegation.
Then ESV Buchloe equalized 3:3 and gave the hosts their fifth home defeat with 3:4 (1:1, 1:1, 1:1) in extra time.
Hans Tauber Jr.
recognized an increase in his team, but otherwise the ESC coach saw a reflection of the previous weeks: "We invest a lot, but don't score the goals.
It will take revenge in the end.”
In fact, the River Rats were present from the start in the last home game of the season and had the first chance after 13 seconds through Ondrej Horvath.
But once again it was the guests who took the lead in the Heinz-Schneider-Stadion (5th).
Florian Strobl made it 1-1 in the first power play after 14 minutes while falling, while shortly afterwards Benedikt May only hit the lower edge of the crossbar.
In the second period, too, the Geretsrieders dominated the game and were also happy about Dominic Fuchs' 2-1 lead (26').
"Then we suddenly lost the thread," Tauber marveled, because the 2-2 equalizer by Philipp Wolf was the result (32nd).
The hosts were also in the final third, although goalkeeper Johanna May – she was officially nominated yesterday for the women's ice hockey world championships – had to make a few saves.
That's why the jubilation over Horvath's 3:2 two minutes before the end was huge.
But the ESC didn't manage to keep the lead over time, because Podrezov made it 3:3 again shortly afterwards.
And the Russian also scored the Buchloer winning goal after 38 seconds in extra time.
"Geretsried was the better team," admitted guest coach Christopher Lerchner, whose team is now sure of staying up.
The ESC still has to score or hope for a slip from Waldkraiburg.
