DNL game scene DEG vs. ESVK – © Sportfoto-Sale (DR)

Düsseldorf. (MR) In the first game of the “finding round” in the DNL, ​​the Düsseldorfer EG had to admit defeat to the ESV Kaufbeuren.

Without David Lewandowski and Lenny Boos, who are both playing with the pros in the pre-season, others had to step up in Eddi Lewandowski’s team. At first, however, the guests seemed to be getting into the game better, so that Düsseldorf’s opening goal in the 12th minute did not quite reflect the course of the game. The Allgäu team, whose jerseys barely showed their numbers, were initially thwarted by Düsseldorf’s goalkeeper Franz Jokinen.

Double strike and late goal for Kaufbeuren

That was to change completely in the middle period. When a penalty was called at the beginning of the period, Jokinen was overcome for the first time (24th minute). Halfway through the period, David Simm had another good opportunity on his own, but Düsseldorf’s Akira Watanabe was able to just about poke the puck off his stick. But a little later, Düsseldorf were beaten; in a one-on-one, Reko Pohjamo shot around his opponent and past the goalie (35th minute). And 50 seconds later, the score was 1:3 when Bence Farkas pushed in the rebound. But DEG went into the second break with a goal from a poke. The home team began the third period with a lot of pressure and equalized at 3:3 in the 46th minute. It went back and forth, with both sides at times confused. After surviving a numerical disadvantage, DEG had to concede a 4th goal (58th minute) and was unable to equalize again. Tomorrow, Sunday, you have the chance to score points yourself.
