Krefeld Penguins celebrate third victory against Selb 5: 3!

on Tuesday evening, January 22, 2025, the Krefeld penguins were able to win an important victory against the wolves themselves and won 5: 3. This was not only a successful evening for the penguins, but also her third victory against Selb this season. The Krefeld demonstration of strength was coined by Matt Marcinew, who scored two goals and made a decisive contribution to the superiority of the team. The team started the game strongly and showed a convincing performance, especially after 40 minutes, before there was a little slump in the final phase.

At the beginning of the game, the defensive series dominated on both sides. The first clear chances were long in coming, until an offside goal was withdrawn from Selb in the 5th minute. In the 9th minute it was Matt Marcinew, who brought the Krefeld penguins into the lead with a goal after passing by David Cerny and finished the first third with 1-0. In the second third, the penguins then added: Max Newton increased to 2-0 in the 24th minute, followed by another goal by Lucas Lessio in the 26th minute, which expanded the lead to 3-0.

restless final phase

Although the Krefeld penguins had a clear advantage at that time and SELB seemed unsettled, Goalie Julius Schulte was able to ward off several opportunities and keep his team in the game. However, a turn of the event withdrew in the final section. Brent Raedeke reduced to 1: 3 in the 43rd minute for Selb. In the further course, Marcinew managed to achieve another impressive goal in the 49th minute, which increased to 4: 1

But Selb did not give up: Raedeke scored his second goal in the 55th minute and brought the wolves to 2: 4. Shortly afterwards, Ryan Smith took another opportunity and reduced to 3: 4 in the 57th minute. The penguins now had to switch to the defense position, but were able to survive the urge phase of Selb, in which Schulte and Riefers did decisive defense work. With an Empty-Net goal shortly before the end, Davis Vandane secured the final score of 5: 3 for Krefeld.
