The penguins could not be discouraged by this deficit for long. Only 63 seconds later they answered in impressive manner. Alex Weiß and Matt Marcinew cleverly combined into the attack zone, where Davis Vandane then received the pass and it did not allow the opposing goalkeeper Fabian Hegmann to react.

In the second third, a similar picture was shown. Again the EHC Freiburg took the lead when Nikolas Linsenmaier came into two outnumbered. In the 36th minute he scored a goal that shocked the penguins again. But in the final minute of the second third, the Krefelders found resistance again when Jon Matsumoto cleverly fired a shot and thus produced the draw.

Another key moment came in the 46th minute. During a 5-minute penalty, which Matt Marcinew previously used for the penguins with a goal to the 3-2 lead, a serious error in the structure led to the penguins conceded. Petr Heider took this opportunity and enabled the wolves to take a point with them.
