Course of the game

DeSousa scored after just 37 seconds to make it 1:0 for the Red Bulls. Yasin Ehliz added the assist to record his 274th DEL point for Munich (124 goals, 150 assists) and take over the sole lead in EHC Red Bull Münchens all-time scoring list. The dream start to 2025 was followed by further dangerous offensive actions from the dominant visitors before the Haie appeared dangerously in front of Mathias Niederberger for the first time in the twelfth minute. The German international goalkeeper showed all his class against Brady Austin, who had broken through. At the other end, Haie goalie Julius Hudacek prevented Munich from scoring a second goal. The lead remained narrow at the first break.

However, this was history after 24 seconds in the middle period, as Louis-Marc Aubry luckily scored to make it 1:1. The equalizer gave the Haie a boost. The home side conceded less than in the first 20 minutes and invested more in offense. The Red Bulls had fewer shots, but had a great chance to take the lead again. As Ehliz only hit the outside of the net at the far post (36'), the teams went into the dressing room tied.

An open exchange of blows developed after the final break. Munich initially acted more forcefully. The reward was the renewed lead through Oswald (48'). The youngster was first fouled during a solo run. The youngster dispatched the resulting penalty to make it 2:1 (48'). The lead did not last long, as Cologne came back with an equalizer from Juhani Tyrväinen (49'). Both teams went for the win in the final phase. Moritz Müller's precise aim in the penultimate minute kept the three points in the Rhineland.

Veit Oswald: „It's very bitter when you lead twice but can't hold on to the lead. Especially when you go 2:3 down so close to the end. Small things cost us the game today. We'll draw our conclusions and want to bounce back with a win on Monday.“
