Düsseldorf suffers a 1:3 defeat at the hands of ERC Ingolstadt in ice hockey, with the scoreline reading 0:1 after the first period, 0:0 in the second, and 1:2 in the third.
In a thrilling ice hockey encounter, Düsseldorf's DEG managed to secure their second consecutive victory against ERC Ingolstadt. The decisive moment came in the 12th minute of the first period, when Leon Huettl scored from the right side, making it 1-1.
The goal was a result of DEG's offensive play in the third period, but Ingolstadt's resilience was evident as they responded with a goal to take the lead once more. However, the DEG showed great determination and equalised in the third period, with Alex Ehl scoring from a distance on the right side (53.).
The second goal for the DEG was an empty net goal, secured by Justin Feser (57.), after a scoreless middle period. The goal was a result of Ehl's curved shot from the right corner, despite heavy traffic in front of Ingolstadt's goalkeeper, Garteig.
Unfortunately, the DEG's victory was not without its challenges. A penalty was given to Philip Gogulla, causing him to leave the ice for two minutes. During this power play opportunity, the DEG could not capitalise, and a goal was disallowed due to an illegal skate movement by Stephen Harper on the edge of the crease.
Despite these setbacks, the DEG displayed impressive resilience, surviving a dangerous situation while playing a man down. Düsseldorf had difficulty bringing creative ideas onto the ice during the middle period, but they managed to turn things around in the third, securing a hard-fought victory.
