The game at the sold-out ice stadium was close and intense from the start,with the Tigers having a slight edge in the first period. In the fourth minute, the Tigers thought they scored through justin Scott, but a review showed Scott had interfered with our goalie, Janne Juvonen, before the play. The goal was disallowed.

After successfully killing off a Bayern power play, we started to create more scoring chances. Regrettably, we couldn’t capitalize on a strong shift in the eleventh minute – Maxi Kammerer and Veli-Matti vittasmäki both missed the net due to good defense from Straubing’s goalie, Henrik Haukeland.

We were also lucky when Wade Allison’s shot hit the crossbar in the twelfth minute. Straubing had a good opportunity in the fifteenth minute but missed three chances, and Juvonen made a strong save. Not much else happened, so the first period ended scoreless.
