Germany is in the World Cup final!

Germany is in the World Cup final against Canada. The Nati Conquerors defeated the US 4:3 after extra time.

It starts miserably for the Germans. Only 3 minutes and 46 seconds have been played. They are already 2-0 down and this match seems to be on the right track going forward. With their furious start, the USA impressively confirmed that they are the best team in this World Cup so far, taking eight wins from eight games to the semi-finals and barely giving the Germans air. First Alex meets Tuch prep work by Rocco Grimaldi and then Grimaldi meets prep work by Tuch.

But Germany showed a lot of maturity, like in the quarter-finals against us, which still hurts here in Germany. The team finds its way back into the game with the first overtime game when Frederik Tiffels pushes the puck over the line. And in the 17th minute, Maksymilian Szuber even managed to make it 2:2 – after brilliant preparatory work by Nico Sturm. The semi-final of the World Cup can start all over again – and it is now a duel on equal terms. Germany has a chance to lead through Daniel Fischbuch and Moritz Seider, but they hit the other side. Michael Eyssimont puts the lively Americans ahead again by using his own rebound.

Compensation at the last minute

Germany tries to equalize again, the team of former ZSC and Lugano master coach Harry Kreis comes under too much pressure in the final phase and everything comes out again. It does not work out for a long time, the Germans have no time left. And then they scored through Marcel Noebels in the 59th minute – when Kreis had replaced his goalkeeper Mathias Niederberger with a sixth outfield player. The US dominates in the ten-minute overtime – but it hits Germany. Once again Tiffels Germany shoots into the hockey heaven.

It is the fifth World Cup medal, the first since 1953, when our neighboring country won silver at the World Cups in Basel and Zurich – ahead of Switzerland. Germany has never been world champion. And right at the center of it all is Harry Kreis, the builder of success, who took over as national coach in the middle of the season when Toni Söderholm threw in the towel because he wanted to move to SC Bern.
