Augsburger Panther won a hard-fought exhibition 4-1 at Eisbären Regensburg, erasing a one-goal deficit with four unanswered goals. The visitors dominated the middle and final frames to take the decision in regulation.
Regensburg grabbed the lead in the opening period, but Augsburg flipped the game with two goals in the second to move ahead 2-1. They tacked on two more in the third, stretching the margin to 4-1 and sealing the win without needing overtime.
The defining number was Augsburg's clean second half: after allowing the early goal, the Panthers held Regensburg off the scoresheet for the final 40 minutes while scoring all four of their own goals. It was a complete turnaround from a first period in which the home side looked the sharper team.
