Victory over the USA: Germany’s ice hockey team in the World Cup final

The German national ice hockey team is making its first World Cup final in 93 years. National coach selection Harold Kress surprisingly won the semi-final against the United States – 4: 3 (2: 2, 0: 1, 1: 0, 1: 0) after overtime. Frederick Tevels scored the golden goal.

On Sunday (7.20pm/Sport1 and Magenta Sport), Germany will meet record world champions Canada in the final in Tampere, who beat Latvia in the semi-final 4-2.

DEB’s third World Cup semi-final selection after 2010 and 2021 started with a lot of self-confidence and self-confidence – but after 71 seconds there was the first severe setback. Tuch completed a watch-worthy set at high speed with the Americans taking an early lead.

Just two and a half minutes later, goalkeeper Matthias Niederberger was again at a disadvantage when Grimaldi volleyed the puck into the top corner. The German team needed ten minutes to get into the game after the shock.

With a bit of luck, contact was made on the first power play: Tevells deflected Daniel Fischbuch’s shot, and the ball slipped through the bars for American goalkeeper Casey Dissmith.

At the beginning of the middle segment, Fischbuch again got the majority to make it 3: 2 (21). Moritz Seider hit the crossbar a little later (23 minutes).

Then the Americans cheered when Niederberger slipped the puck – but the video showed that the puck did not completely cross the goal line (25 minutes).

Four minutes later, the goal was awarded to the USA: Esimont knocked the puck out of the hands of Niederberger over the line.

“We’re a shot away from playing for the gold medal, we have to get everything we can out of it now, we can play better,” captain Moritz Müller said in the second half in Sport 1: The team proved that in the last section.

The Noebels forced overtime with 1:23 minutes left in the game before the Tiffels shot the German team to seventh heaven after 7:32 minutes of overtime.

“There is nothing hotter than what the guys did today, it’s unbelievable,” said young defender Moritz Seider on “Sport1.” “Maybe we got a little overwhelmed in the first 15 minutes, but we came back great.”

We don’t have the greatest talents on paper, but we do have our qualities and we won’t let them down.

Meanwhile, national team coach Chris, who was born in Canada, confirmed that at the moment he has only one heart “beating in me, and there is no maple leaf on it.”

Germany has now collected its first World Cup medal in 70 years. In 1953 DEB’s selection became vice world champions with only four entrants. The biggest success in the recent past was the Olympic silver medal in 2018.

For national coach Harold Criss, his first World Cup as a coach was indeed a huge success. No one believed that the German national team could do anything before the World Cup. The county has received 15 cancellations from providers due to injuries.
