Gameplay

Bremerhaven came onto the ice with a lot of momentum, Munich initially defensively challenged. Christian Wejse's goal for 1:0 in the 5th minute was the result. The Red Bulls then found their way into the game better and put the hosts under more and more pressure. This should pay off in the 14th minute with one man more on the ice: Parkes completed a super combination via Ben Street and Hager to equalize. His 105th DEL goal in the Munich jersey - a new club record. There were more chances on both sides until the siren, but it remained at 1-1.

The first clear chance in the middle period came after two minutes for the Penguins, who remained dangerous throughout the rest of the period. The Red Bulls' defense had plenty to do and defended strongly during two Bremerhaven powerplays. A close match, which went into the second intermission with a lot of tension, but without further goals.

Red Bull München had the better start into the final period. Almost logical: The 2-1 lead for Don Jackson's team through Hager (47th). And 1:15 minutes later the next cheer for the Red Bulls: Penalty, Ortega, goal! 3:1 for the Red Bulls, who continued to control the game. Three minutes before the end, goalie Maximilian Franzreb left the Bremerhaven goal, but the Munich defense around Mathias Niederberger withstood the pressure. As a result, the Red Bulls won Game 4 3:1 and set the quarterfinal series at 2:2.

Yasin Ehliz: "Bremerhaven came out of the dressing room super and made it very difficult for us. There were few chances on both sides. We always tried to force them to make mistakes and luckily we scored the goals. In Game 5, both teams will go full throttle again, it will be another hard-fought match."
