Düsseldorf: DEG wins in Cologne 3: 2 (0: 1, 3: 1, 0: 0) – Ddorf-Aktuell
die DEG won the 237th derby! Both Cologne Sharks She won 3:2 (0:1, 3:1, 0:0) and showed a strong performance in front of more than 18,380 visitors, especially after the first third. Disappointed DEG fans shouted in Düsseldorf: “We want to see you fight!” The message got through – as a bruise from Philip Gogulla proves.
Dusseldorf does not change anything in the line-up. Niklas Heinzinger, Jakub Borzecki and Edmund Junemann appeared as extra players in the stands.
Cologne submits
The first third was heated. The Cologne started committed and poisonous. Cologne took the lead in the 7th minute: Nick Bailen received the disc low and shot from the back. The hard slap shot flew past Haukeland and up into the net. Untenable! After that, Düsseldorf had a few minor opportunities. But a hit does not fall. So it went into the first break with a 0-1 deficit.
Düsseldorf countered the equalization within seconds
In the second third, Düsseldorf played much better and was more effective in front of goal. Paul Bittner made the start. The returnee made it 1: 1 (22’49) from the crowd. The DEG became upper water, Cologne was preserved. Tobi Eder converted a combination of Jonas Järvinen and Alex Barta from a few meters to the Düsseldorf lead – 2:1. Bittner, Järvinen and others could then possibly have raised but didn’t score. That took revenge – with a Cologne outnumbered goal. Jason Bast shook off Mikko Kousa on the counterattack and also defeated Haukeland to equalize. 2:2 in the 39th minute. But the DEG answered only a few seconds later! Alex Blank scored through Pantkowski’s legs and put Düsseldorf back in the lead (39:36) – 3:2 from Düsseldorf’s point of view.
Beating Cologne does not meet
In the final section, Cologne fought to equalize. Interrupted by rough holidays. A Cologne power play saw a wide awake DEG defense and a strong Haukeland in goal. Impressive, how calm the Norwegian radiated. 128 seconds before the end, Cologne coach Uwe Krupp pulled the goalie and brought in a sixth field player. But Düsseldorf held the lead – in the final second with a painful block from Philip Gogulla.
