Game report
Super start for the Red Bulls: 42 seconds, Ortega, 1:0 for the leader at the champion. In the following, the Munich team played against unsettled Berliners: self-confident, quick-witted and successful. Blum hammered the puck into the net in the 11th minute. 2:0 for the superior guests, and that's how it stayed until the break.
And in the second period the next lightning start: 109 seconds played, backhand pass from Chris DeSousa, 3:0 by Street into the short corner. Munich had the match under control - until the first overtime game of the Berliners. Giovanni Fiore reduced the score to 1:3 in minute 34, and less than one and a half minutes later the Canadian suddenly made the game close. Only 2:3 from the Eisbären point of view. Berlin was on the upswing, Munich held its own, and no further goals were scored until the siren.
The curtain rose on an exciting final third. Berlin started out shorthanded and with two great chances. Daniel Allavena showed his skills in the Red Bulls' box. Munich answered with a goal on the crossbar by Maximilian Daubner. Last year's finalists delivered an even fight. With 2:12 minutes left, Juho Markkanen left the goal of the Eisbären. Konrad Abeltshauser hit only the post from distance. The Eisbären were six on the attack. But the Munich defense blocked everything until the tenth away win in a row was secured.
