Well, let’s be honest, we are quite surprised…not really by the result of the semifinals, but from the way this giant battles were conducted.
Biel Seelanders tried everything to score an early goal against Duisburg Ducks, but the Germans played very well in defense and with every minute the Swiss got more and more frustrated. So many shots on goal but no goal? Yes, it is possible, and like the most cynical unwritten law in sports, if you do not convert your chances, you get punished sooner or later. And so it happened. Out of the blue, with only a couple minutes left to play Duisburg scored the winning goal! A great team effort and first final after 2013 for the team of coach Sven Fydrich. Big up for Biel Seelanders, with a little bit more luck they would stand now in the final…
The second semifinal was expected to be tense, spectacular, undecided till the end, but no… it all came out different. The european Champion from Augsburg played almost faultless and coldheartedly scored with every powerplay. Too nervous and naiif, the team around coach Bobo Bernasconi couldnt change the destiny of the game. Sayaluca was finally severly beaten by this outreageous team from Augsburg. 6-0 and first final for their first appearance at our tournament.
So now we are ready to enjoy the „small“ final between Sayaluca and Biel Seelanders at 16.10 and this 100% german final at 17.00.
