Herforder EV loses to Herne 4:5 in a dramatic ice hockey match!

The Herford ice hockey club is having a hard time in the current Oberliga Nord. On Monday evening they let a possibly lost game against the Herner EV Miners run out and lost the exciting duel 4:5 after they were in the lead with 2:0 in the meantime. The score after thirds was 2:1 / 1:1 / 1:3, which shows that things got really hot in the final period. Herford started strong, with two goals from David Makuzki and Ryley Lindgren, but they were unable to keep their narrow lead at the finish. Ice Hockey Magazine reports that Herne was able to reduce the deficit in the 30th minute through Matteo Stöhr, and just a few minutes later the Miners surprised the spectators by turning the game around in the final third.

In the final period it was Nicklas Müller who equalized for Herne. Dennis Palka even put the guests back in the lead 4-3 before Jackson Pierson equalized for Herford with a penalty. But Thomas Munichiello had the last word, scoring the winning goal for Herne in the 57th minute - after a major mistake in the Herford defense. A bitter evening for Herford, who slipped to 9th place in the table and now only have 13 points from 11 games.

Home game without success

And things were anything but smooth in the first home game against the Icefighters Leipzig. In this match, which took place in front of almost 800 spectators, Herford suffered a painful defeat 0-3. The team couldn't finally fight its way to success, despite dominant play and some good chances. The shots kept failing because of Konstantin Kessler, the Icefighters' goalkeeper. Icehockey.net reports that Herford tried to score the next goal in the final minutes with an additional field player, but this failed to happen.

The goals for Leipzig came between the 16th and 59th minutes, with Konstantin Bongers scoring two of them. Herford was unable to score any points in this encounter, which could put a strain on the team's morale. In the current situation they have slipped to 5th place in the table, with now 21 points and a difficult upcoming game against the Tilburg Trappers, which will take place on Friday at 8:30 p.m.

Prospects for Herford

Given the last two defeats, Herford will have to analyze the situation carefully. A positive trend is needed before the next games take place. On Sunday we face the TecArt Black Dragons Erfurt, and the team is determined to learn from the defeats and come back stronger. With 618 spectators at the last home game, it shows that the fans remain loyal despite the defeats and are hoping for a turnaround.
