DolomitenCup: Nuremberg makes the Bavarian final perfect

After Augsburg's spectacular start on the first day of the tournament, the second German club followed suit in the early stages of the second semi-final. The Ice Tigers, coached by former HC Neumarkt coach Rob Wilson, cleverly let the puck flow through their ranks and took the lead with their first high-profile chance. New signing Andrew Kozek made it 5-1 in the 0th minute with his first goal in the Nuremberg uniform. He gave Brno goalie Marek Ciliak no chance to defend from close range. After that, the Franconians continued to dominate the game, but were lucky several times when the Eastern Europeans missed the equalizer several times on two power plays. So the Ice Tigers ended up with a narrow lead at halftime. After the break, a completely even showdown developed in which Nuremberg initially had the better chances. However, it was the Czechs who scored in the 29th minute. Lukás Vágner successfully completed a quick counterattack. Kometa remained in control, but initially had no luck in the end. Only when Tomás Havránek shot from a tight angle was the spell broken. Nuremberg goalkeeper Jochen Reimer was able to fend off the first attempt, but he was powerless to take a direct follow-up shot. At this point 35 minutes had been played. Just four turns of the pointer later, the same picture on the other side: David Steckel went off alone and flicked the puck over the line under Ciliak's pad. He fixed the score at 2-2 at halftime. In the final section the tension became noticeably more intense. Both teams now pushed vehemently for the opening goal. The Ice Tigers finally succeeded in this, whose first line repeatedly caused a stir. This time it was Brendan Segal who took advantage of a lack of attention from the Brno defense to score in the 48th minute. This was also the decisive goal in the game, as the Ice Tigers then made a dent in defense and prevented Brno from having a chance.
