The league leader continued to act with pressure and superiority. But Iserlohn fought back as hard as they could and equalized 41 seconds before the end of the period through Ryan O'Connor - 1-1 at the first intermission.

But the Roosters were able to equalize through Brent Raedeke (27th). The guests' joy did not last long. 67 seconds after the equalizer, Munich was again ahead thanks to Eder (28.). Shortly after, Ortega (30th) and Varejcka (31st) increased the lead to 5:2, but this was no reason for the Roosters to hang their heads: On the power play, Emile Poirier reduced the score to 3:5 (36.). However, the Red Bulls went into the break with a three-goal lead, as one second before the siren Ehliz celebrated the 6:3.
