Kölner Haie suffer a historic 3:10 defeat against Ingolstadt!
On October 31, 2025, Kölner Haie fans experienced a game that will go down in history - but not in the most pleasant way. In the away game against ERC Ingolstadt, the Haie suffered a bitter defeat with 3:10 (0:3, 2:3, 1:4). In the club's history, this is only the second time that the Cologne team have conceded at least ten goals; this previously happened in March 1998 against the Eisbären Berlin (4:10). This development raises questions about the team's stability and strategy. Sports show reports that the Haie started defensively attentively in the first third, but quickly lost their composure.
The goals for Ingolstadt came at a rapid pace. Riley Barber opened the scoring with the advantage (14th minute), followed by further goals from Kenny Agostino (16th) and Leon Hüttl (20th). Cologne's Patrick Russell scored the guests' first goal in the 28th minute, but Ingolstadt countered immediately - Abbott Girduckis restored the old distance in the 28th minute. The uncertainty in Cologne's defense was clearly noticeable.
A game full of goals conceded
The second third continued a negative trend: Ingolstadt scored two goals within 60 seconds, increasing the score to 5-1. Philipp Krauß and Philipp Preto were successful here. In the final third it initially seemed as if the Sharks could do some damage limitation when Nate Schnaar reduced the score to 3:8. But Ingolstadt didn't let themselves be stopped and restored the old distance through Daniel Schmölz in the 58th minute.
The Sharks will undoubtedly face challenges after this game. With this victory, Ingolstadt celebrated its third success in a row and has always scored more than five goals in the last three games. The team is currently in top form and is a serious rival for Cologne. Ice Hockey100 describes the current development of German ice hockey, which is traditionally overshadowed by football and handball, but which is inspiring more and more people.
What will happen next for the Kölner Haie? The team urgently needs to think about its defense and focus on the next games in order not to slip further in the table. Ice hockey is a popular sport in Germany, and the Kölner Haie have a loyal following that stands behind their team even in difficult times. One can only hope that the team will soon receive a positive boost and be able to build on the successes of past days.
