TowerStars remains in Freiburg in the middle of the table in Freiburg

The Ravensburg Towerstars could not win in the last game before Christmas Eve despite the return of their top scorer Matt Santos and slid down to ninth place in the DEL2 table by 1: 3 defeat against Freiburg. Already at the beginning of the game there was a problem in defense when Ilya Sharipov, who has been playing for the TowerStars since May 2023, could not react in time for the first goal. The nervousness was noticeable in the game of the team, which, among other things, led to a number of missed opportunities, as it towerstars.de reported.

In the first third, the Ravensburgers saw an immediate punishment for an avoidable mistake. An overhanged false pass led to the shot of Tomas Schwamberger and thus 1-0 for the Freiburg early. Even in the second third, the team of Coach Bo Subr was unable to win control over the game, since Freiburg made the pass paths effectively tight and increased to 2-0 with another goal. The tower Stars found no clear structure in their own power play and awarded valuable opportunities, while Sharipov tried to keep the team in the game in critical moments.

In the final third, the TowerStars made the connection goal by Niklas Hübner to 2-1, but the moment of hope did not last long. Another goal from Freiburg 9 minutes before the end of the game ultimately sealed the fate of the Ravensburger, which had to demonstrate their offensive weakness again. The ongoing performance crisis, in which the team was only able to score one goal in three games, caused serious concerns in the TowerStars camp. Sharipov, who was able to gain various experiences as a goalkeeper in his previous career, is now under the pressure to bring about a change and to stabilize the defensive, as wikipedia.de
