At first it looked very much like that. Ritter (11th) and Knackstedt (18th) put Rico Rossi’s team in the front. Kerbashian (21st) and Boiarchinov (26th) equalized – deservedly because the foxes let loose 17 shots in the middle section. In the final third, Dresden again shot 14 times in vain. The foxes, on the other hand, only three times, but Schwartz scored (55th) and that too outnumbered. A bitter evening for the guests. Eislöwen coach Rossi said: “We played a very good first period and stuck to our plan. In the second period we left our path and conceded goals. In the third period it was an equal match, but unfortunately we find our way back a way to lose the game. It’s a difficult situation for the team, the club and also our fans. But we have to go through that and together we can get out of it. ” They can do better on Christmas Day when it comes to Crimmitschau in the next derby at home.
