Munich double strike in the last third

Christian Wejse put the hosts ahead in the fifth minute and made his team dream of another win against the favorites. However, before the first third break, Trevor Parkes (14th) equalized for the guests.

It was a hard-fought game that was mostly evenly matched. In the final third, however, the Munich team swung the pendulum in their favor with a double strike from Patrick Hager and Austin Ortega (47th and 48th). On Friday (March 24th, 2023) game five will take place again in Munich.

Straubing also succeeds 2:2

In the later game on Wednesday evening, the team from the south triumphed in the away game in the north. The Straubing Tigers also won 3:1 (2:0, 1:1, 0:0) against the Grizzlys Wolfsburg and were 2:2 in the series.

Marcel Brandt scored an early brace for Straubing (7th and 10th) and made the task very thankless for Wolfsburg early on. They did score a goal through JC Beaudin in the middle third (23′), but never really got the upper hand. Instead, the guests restored the old distance through Parker Tuomie after half an hour and brought success with a courageous and disciplined performance over time.
