The EHC Munich is currently losing the decisive percentage points. The provincial capitals cannot clarify consistently, even before the goal was conceded, they had only sloppily freed themselves twice.

Goal for ERC Ingolstadt, 0-1 by Ty Ronning
The Panthers take the lead! The goal falls away from the bully in the attack third. Ryan McKiernan can’t consistently clear the slice on the gang. Daniel Pietta reacts immediately and brings the game device to the goal from a tight angle. Mathias Niederberger bounces forward, Ty Ronning is there for the rebound!

Jonas Stettmer is in demand for the first time. Austin Ortega puts it back to Yasin Ehliz, who gets stuck on the goalie from a short distance. Good positional play by the young goalkeeper.

game start
13:57
The national anthem is intoned by a group of genuine Bavarians. A brass band in traditional costume goes onto the ice.
13:55
The teams step onto the ice, the atmosphere is of course fantastic! Apparently the Munich fans have bought up all the sparklers in the city.
13:38
Should Ingolstadt extend the series, game six would take place on Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the Saturn Arena. With their own fans behind them, everything should be possible for the Panthers again. A possible Game Seven would take place on Thursday evening.
13:36
With eight German championships, Don Jackson is by far the most successful coach in DEL history. However, his last title with the Munich team was five years ago. The EHC will do everything to make the championship perfect today and to be able to raise the trophy towards the roof of the arena with their own fans.
13:30
Die Starting Six: Mathias Niederberger, Ryan McKiernan, Maksymilian Szuber, Maximilian Kastner, Chris DeSousa and Patrick Hager will start for Munich. Ingolstadt starts with Jonas Stettmer, Maury Edwards, Fabio Wagner, Ty Ronning, Tye McGinn and Daniel Pietta.
13:24
Jonas Stettmer guards the Ingolstadt goal again today. Together with the people in front, he has to avert bankruptcy and thus the early end. “Our will is unbroken. It’s the little things that we have to work on,” emphasized Danish attacker Frederik Storm, among others.
13:14
On the Ingolstadt side, 21-year-old Jonas Stettmer was the third goalie in the final series in the last two matches. First, Michael Garteig was injured in the quarter-finals against DEG, then Kevin Reich, who had been strong before, fell ill. The rumor that Stettmer should be signed by the polar bears for the coming season caused additional unrest in the goalkeeper position yesterday. In addition, Kevin Reich is to go to Iserlohn.
13:09
In any case, the focus in ice hockey is very much on the goalies. In the course of the season so far, however, the importance of the goalkeeper has once again become particularly clear. The national goalkeeper Mathias Niederberger, who was criticized at the beginning of the playoffs, is in top form again in the decisive phase and could already celebrate his third DEL title in a row today. Previously, he had lifted the trophy twice with the polar bears.
13:05
2: 1, 7: 1, 3: 4 and 3: 0 – these are the previous results from Munich’s point of view. One would certainly not have expected the Upper Bavarian final series to be so clear. Ingolstadt now needs three wins in a row to turn the best-of-seven series.
13:03
Have a nice Sunday afternoon and welcome to the potentially decisive fifth game in the DEL final series between EHC Munich and ERC Ingolstadt! At 2 p.m. the first puck falls in the Olympic ice rink.
