DEL: "Too Unconstant" - Sharks Lose to Swenningen

The Cologne sharks cannot win two games in a row in the DEL. Against Schwenningen they conceded a bitter bankruptcy. By Michael Buchartz The Cologne sharks can still show no consistency in the DEL. In the 2:3 n.V. (0:0, 1:1, 1:1) against the Schwenninger Wild Wings it set the sixth season defeat. After the victory against Bremerhaven, the KEC had to take another setback and remains with 16 points in the midfield of the table. We make life difficult for ourselves. We just play too inconstantly, said KEC striker Maximilian Kammerer at MagentaSport. At the early game of the 49th matchday Philip Feist opened the goal race for Schwenningen in the 26th minute. Daniel Fischbuch (38.) provided the balance before Markus Ljungh (56.) shot the game for the KEC for the time being. Hakon Hänelt (59th) made up shortly before the end of the regular season. In the extra time Mirko Höfflin (63.) decided the game in favor of the Schwenninger. Goalkeepers at Wild Wings and Sharks Stark Several times in the first third were the goalkeepers of the two clubs in the focus. Especially Joacim Eriksson saved several times for the Schwenninger Wild Wings and saved the guests from a backlog. But also Cologne’s Janne Juvonen, best DEL player of the last season, had to intervene against Höfflin. In addition, the sharks were lucky that the guest attacker after a great solo did not bring the disc from an acute angle over the line. Without goals, it went into the first third break. Feist für Schwenningen, Fischbuch für Köln Hardly 30 seconds were played, Schwenningen had the lead on the racket: Alexander Karachun and Kyle Platzer ran two against one on the shark goal, but Platzer hit the puck at the free end. The Wild Wings now seemed a little more agile, but Karachun’s shot landed only on the bar instead of in the goal. Better teammate Feist, who pulled off from a similar position and hit in the right angle. The sharks woke up afterwards, but one had something against the Cologne compensation: goalkeeper Eriksson. The Swede parried several times in world-class manner. Only with a double majority could the Goalie do nothing more than wet fish book from a short distance. Hänelt forces sharks into the extension In the final third Schwenningens Karachun aimed a little too far left on the first opportunity. Afterwards, the part took a long break as far as offensive scenes were concerned. A shot of Höfflin was the first significant chance after about ten minutes of idle, after which Feist also failed at Juvonen. From the KEC came offensively, on the other hand, almost nothing - until about four minutes before the end a very curious thing the Cologne Arena cheered. Ljungh did not hit the disc correctly during the shot and from his racket the bullet churned over the line including touch of two guest players at a snail's pace. Schwenningen tried everything in a double majority - and ex-Hai Hänelt let the joy of the KEC fans fall silent again. Schwenningen brings the victory The game had to be decided in overtime - both teams had one point already for sure. The guests secured the extra point: Again it was Hänelt, who intervened decisively with a preliminary work of the extra class. After his solo, he placed in front of the goal across Höfflin, who left Juvonen with a shot from a short distance no chance.
