As in the last duel between the two teams, which they won 5-4 in overtime, the Pioneers got off to a better start and took the lead in the fifth minute with a goal from Guus van Ness. After Haie’s quick equalizer, it was Julian Metzler who put Vorarlberg in the lead again (8th). A lead that the Ländle-Cracks were able to extend to three goals in the middle third thanks to a double strike from Joonas Oden (24th) and Luca Erne (26th). But the home team, who won seven of the eight duels against the Pioneers, didn’t give up. First Krogsgaard shortened the score and when Kevin Macierzynski had again established the three-goal lead (36th), it was Green who immediately made it 3:5 in the power play.
