Frankfurt then tried to find an answer, but Söderholm's team were focused, composed and always dangerous. Whenever the Lions got through, Red Bulls goalie Mathias Niederberger came up with the stop sign. Conclusion after the first 20 minutes: Both teams showed fast and fresh offensive ice hockey, the only goal was scored by EHC Red Bull München.

From the first face-off, Munich's Jonathon Blum had the first great opportunity of the second period. Cody Brenner made a lucky save. In the 25th minute, the Löwen goalkeeper had no chance: Munich outnumbered, Ehliz alert and deliberate - 2:0 for the Red Bulls. But this time Frankfurt were able to hit back.

Only one was allowed to celebrate until the second period break: Dominik Bokk scored for Frankfurt in the 38th minute on the second rebound to make it 2:2 at the break after 40 minutes.

Toni Söderholm: „We started defensively stable, but took ourselves out of the game a bit in the second period. We then showed character in the third period and scored a goal that may have seemed a bit lucky, but was definitely planned."
