Gameplay

Frankfurt with good changes at the beginning, but the Red Bulls had the first chances. Ben Street (3.) and Zach Redmond (4.) tested Jake Hildebrand, but the Löwen keeper was on the spot. The guests also with promising opportunities, such as that of Carter Rowney (6.), Munich but more playful. Hildebrand was challenged again and again, but despite a lot of traffic in front of his goal, he kept an overview - and was lucky that Maximilian Kastner just missed (19.). Since the eye-catching Rowney also failed to put the puck in Niederberger's goal (19.), the game went into the first period without a goal.

Munich power field hockey in the middle period. The Red Bulls played passionately, quickly and determinedly. High-caliber goals every minute. In the 24th minute, the pressure was too much for the guests: Kastner passed with great clarity to Hager, who beat the strong Hildebrand for the first time. After that it was Parkes' big hour: The forward first increased the lead to 2:0 (29th) before he added his 150th goal in the German top flight in his 250th DEL-game for the Red Bulls (35th). 3:0 for the leaders after 40 minutes.

Dominant Red Bulls also in the final period. Despite the three-goal lead, the league leaders did not let up and created further chances. Smith made the most of one of them, scoring on Jonathon Blum's assist to make it 4-0 (48th). Shortly after, Niederberger was able to distinguish himself from Rowney on the other side (49.). The goalkeeper also saved all shots on goal, so it remained the clear 4-0 victory of the Munich team.
