The Red Bulls were looking for a quick answer and had a great chance, but Ben Street could not put the puck in Leonardo Genoni's goal. More efficient was the EVZ: Peter Cehlarik scored before the first period break the 0:3 (14.).

Also the second section belonged to the guests. So put Sven Senteler in the 23rd minute the fourth goal. Train with the clearly better chance utilization: After Munich could not use several possibilities in powerplay, Cehlarik increased to 0:5 (28.). Danny aus den Birken then cleared his place in the Munich box for Daniel Allavena. The youngster was immediately on temperature and prevented a higher arrears after 40 minutes.

The Red Bulls tried in the final section once again everything and rewarded themselves with the 1:5 of Varejcka (45.). That was at the same time the starting signal for a long final offensive.
