Lesedauer: ca. 1 Minute
The Augsburg Panthers defeated the DEL table leaders EHC Red Bull Munich after a furious game in extra time 5: 4 (1: 1, 2: 3, 1: 0, 1: 0),
Both teams had to do without some players due to injuries, Munich even started with only three rows after they had a very exhausting game in the CHL two days earlier.
Augsburg’s last new signing Matt Puempel opened the scoring – the first third, however, remained very even, as did the result, Philip Gogulla equalized almost two and a half minutes later.
After TJ Trevelyan and Scott Valentine had given the Panthers a 3-1 lead with a slap shot from the blue line, Jonathon Blum was able to connect Munich. After a tough check by Scott Valentine, the main referee even had to completely remove him from the ice after using the video evidence, and the Augsburgers automatically had to play five minutes short. Trevor Parkes was then able to quickly equalize when Adam Payerl was sent to the penalty box, it was Zach Redmond who gave the Red Bulls the lead for the first time. Augsburg still had the equalizer on the racket, but the target only hit the post.
Not a single penalty in the final section made the Augsburg audience – the Curt-Frenzel-Stadion was very well filled with over 5600 spectators – just hotter for the rest of the game. Magnus Eisenmenger then equalized with his first DEL goal 15 minutes before the end. The game remained rough and lived up to the name Derby, but no goal was scored.
The extra time had to decide: Less than two minutes were played when Vinny Saponari shot the target past Munich goalkeeper Daniel Fiessinger with a backhand well worth seeing. The Panthers were also able to win this home game again. On Sunday, October 17th, the Panthers will go to Krefeld.
