Krefeld penguins dominate Freiburg: Convincing 5: 1 victory!

On Sunday evening, February 9, 2025, the Krefeld Penguins secured a convincing 5-1 win against the Wolves Freiburg in the real hero arena. The team from Krefeld, which is placed in the upper table region of the DEL2, showed a strong comeback after a previous defeat against Freiburg. In this encounter, the wolves of Freiburg, who were located in the 10th place in the table, competed against the penguins, who had recently achieved a 4-2 win against the Lausitzer Foxes.

The game started with intensive ice hockey. Eero Elo had a chance for Freiburg right from the start, but Krefeld's goalkeeper Felix Bick was able to ward off the shot. In the first half of the first third, however, it remained goalless, since the Krefeld attacks, including a promising opportunity from David Cerny, did not bring any result. Cerny's attempt was parried by Freiburg goalkeeper Fabian Hegmann, and the penguins also survived an outnumber after Lucas Lessio had to go to the bench for a punishment.

The pressure on the Freiburg housing remained high and David Cerny used an overnight situation to mark it 3-0. In the final third, Cerny then followed up with another goal, this time from the blue line, and made the game a clear matter for the penguins.

Lessio added another goal in the 48th minute before Petr Heider scored the honor goal for the wolves 76 seconds before the end of the encounter.
