Course of the match

The Red Bulls got off to a lightning start: Just 18 seconds had been played when Ortega scored after a beautiful pass from Jonathon Blum to make it 1:0 for Munich. The Red Bulls then created further good chances. The Penguins were also on the offensive and Munich's goalie Daniel Allavena also had one or two opportunities to make his mark. However, no further goals were scored in the first period, meaning the Red Bulls went into the first break with a 1-0 lead.

The middle period began with two great opportunities for Bremerhaven, but Allavena was on the ball. The Penguins kept up the pressure after that. The German champions defended with concentration and counterattacked. Chris DeSousa missed the best chance alone in front of Penguins goalkeeper Kristers Gudlevskis (31'). Neither team managed to score in the second period and the score was 1:0 for the Red Bulls on the video screen at the second break. In the final period, Munich initially barely allowed the Penguins to get dangerously close to their own goal. Until the 47th minute. Ross Mauermann then overcame Allavena to make it 1:1, after which it became turbulent with chances on both sides. Ortega had the lead again twice (49'). And the closer it got to the final buzzer, the more heated it became on the ice. But no goals were scored and the game went into overtime. Allavena made several saves while short-handed. The penalty shoot-out had to decide the game. Here, Ziga Jeglic secured Bremerhaven the extra point.
