The quarter-finals of the Ice Hockey Champions League will take place without German clubs. After Wolfsburg and Straubing, EHC Munich was also eliminated on Wednesday evening. The Bavarians missed the sensation at EV Zug and after the 1:5 in the first leg had to admit defeat in the second leg with 1:5. Gregory Hofmann (1st minute), Dario Allenspach (24th), Fabrice Herzog (30th), Samuel Kreis (34th) and Yannick Zehnder (47th) scored for the Swiss champions. Ben Smith (12th) managed to equalize in the meantime.
The mortgage from the first meeting was too big for the Munich team. When Hofmann then scored for the home side after 49 seconds, hardly anything went at first. Zug pushed the EHC back permanently. However, the guests equalized with the first chance. Andi Eder failed in the first attempt, Smith then poked and scored. A little hope grew in the scorer and his colleagues, but when Julian Lutz lost the puck as the last man and Allenspach used the faux pas to take the lead, Bayern Munich’s heads went down.
The body language and the effort made it clear that the German runner-up no longer believed in a comeback. The hosts added more goals without having to put in much effort. Maksymilian Szuber (31st) also received a game misconduct penalty after an elbow check to the head of Tobias Geisser from Zug.
