Course of the game

Nuremberg got off to a perfect start in the Bavarian duel: The Ice Tigers took the lead with the first shot on goal in Munich through their top scorer Evan Barratt (2nd). The Red Bulls responded with an offensive style of play and were rewarded. DeSousa equalized with a penalty after a foul against Tobias Rieder to make it 1:1 (5.). After this spectacular start, the match remained fast, intense and even. The visitors from the state capital had the more dangerous opportunities. However, no further goals were scored until the break.

Both teams continued to attack in the middle third. The Franconians scored the next goal when Josef Eham finished off a counter-attack in the 28th minute to make it 2:1. The Red Bulls then found it more difficult to create clear chances against the home side's resolute defense. As a result, the Ice Tigers' narrow lead remained intact after 40 minutes.

In the final period, both teams continued to play a fast-paced game at eye level, but were unable to overcome the opposing goalie. In the final phase, the Red Bulls pressed vehemently for the equalizer, but Nuremberg defended attentively. Just under three minutes before the end, Munich's Mathias Niederberger left his goal for a sixth outfield player. However, the Ice Tigers' defensive bulwark held and EHC Red Bull Munich's winning streak came to an end in Nuremberg.
