Ice hockey – Munich beats Nuremberg 4-2 – sport
The EHC Red Bull Munich celebrated a derby victory thanks to its goal-threatening veridiger. In their first of nine games in just 17 days, Munich won 4: 2 (1: 1, 0: 0, 3: 1) at the Nürnberg Ice Tigers on Friday evening. The first seasonal duel between Munich and Nuremberg in the DEL ice hockey league, scheduled for October, had to be postponed due to the corona outbreak at the EHC. That is why there was now the first season special between Ice Tigers and the EHC in Nuremberg – and again with a Corona reference. Two days before the game, the three players Marko Friedrich, Andrew Bodnarchuk and Jonas Vogt and assistant coach Manuel Kofler tested positive for the corona virus at the Nuremberg team, and they are all in quarantine. This also means that the Ice Tigers only have four trained defenders against the EHC.
A defender also scored the first goal of the game – Munich’s Konrad Abeltshauser (15th). Just a minute and a half later, Tyler Sheehy equalized to 1-1. The derby was fast-paced, intense – and also scoring in the final third: Philip Gogulla’s technically fine 2-1 (41st), countered Nürnberg’s Max Kislinger (46th), defender Zach Redmond scored from a tight angle to make the decisive 3-2 (52nd) . Yasin Ehliz made the 4: 2 (55th) for the EHC after some good preparatory work by Austin Ortega, where Yannic Seidenberg and Maximilian Kastner returned from their injury breaks. The second derby of the weekend is on Sunday for the people of Munich, at 5 p.m. they will receive the Augsburg Panther. The Swabians lost their first game after the international break 1: 3 in Wolfsburg.
