In the playoff semi-final series between the Erding Gladiators and TEV Miesbach, game number three takes place tonight at 8 p.m. in the Stadtwerke Erding Arena.

Erding – After the team from Oberland equalized the series to 1:1, there will definitely be a fourth game in Miesbach on Friday.

It is clear that there are many emotions in such a series.

That could already be felt and seen on Friday, when two teams fought at eye level in a spirited battle.

In the end, the Gladiators had the edge with 2:0 goals.

"We knew that Erding was coming like the fire brigade and we had a hard time at the beginning," said TEV trainer Michael Baindl.

"Erding became more passive in the second third, you can't keep up the pace for 60 minutes and we got better.

If we had managed to score a goal, we could have done a lot.”

His opponent Felix Schütz had to do without Sebastian Busch and Florian Zimmermann for a short time before Friday's game. Three players from Baindl's team said goodbye during the game: Matthias Bergmann was hit in the face in the middle of the first third by a puck that he had unluckily deflected himself .

With a cut and a broken nose, he made his way to the hospital during the game – accompanied by Nick Endress, who had to leave the ice at the beginning of the second round with a suspected broken rib.

Captain Johannes Bacher said goodbye to the dressing room with back problems, but was back on Sunday – and promptly scored two goals.

The performance of the two main referees Michael Fischer and Manuel Vorgeitz was sovereign in Erding, who let the game go well, had a consistent line and only awarded three penalties each.

The situation was completely different on Sunday in Miesbach, when the Erdinger fan soul boiled after TEV's 5:4 penalty win.

Christoph Ober and Robert Paule, otherwise actually very sovereign game masters, at least in the three-man system, brought Erdinger players and supporters against themselves with some strange decisions.

"We weren't satisfied with the referee's performance.

From our point of view, the whistle was very one-sided”, Gladiators spokesman David Whitney commented on the performance of the two main referees.

“8:18 penalty minutes are on the game report.

It was a tough but not unfair game.

Therefore, the one-sided penalty is hard to digest.” Of the four penalties against TEV, three were imposed in a 10th-minute scuffle, which also included three penalties against Erding.

A suspension against Miesbach followed in the 15th minute, and that was it.

The Gladiators, on the other hand, had to go five more times until the end - after some very controversial decisions.

The Erdinger fans were particularly angry at Miesbach's top scorer Bohumil Slavicek, who went down in almost every duel and constantly tried to

"Coaches always get upset about the referee's performance," says Erding's team manager Felix Schütz.

"But that was embarrassing and obviously unfair." He feels sorry for his team, "because the boys play honest ice hockey with heart".

It was a courageous performance by his core troops.

Schütz only had 14 field players available, as there had been other short-term absences.

He is hoping for Zimmermann and Roni Rukajärvi to return today, but that will only be decided at short notice.

The team boss is still confident ahead of game three.

"We have such a good team, we can win," says the Gladiators team boss.

And as far as the unfair treatment by the arbitrators is concerned, he is convinced: "That's what binds us together."
