Eispiraten Crimmitschau defeated ESC Halle Saale Bulls 4-0 in regulation at the Club Friendly Games. Crimmitschau went ahead by one in the first, made it 2-0 through two periods, and pulled away with a two-goal third for the clean road win.
The scoring was spread out rather than bunched: one goal in each of the first two periods and two in the third. Halle managed no goals in any period, and the running score after 20, 40, and 60 minutes stayed one-sided at 1-0, 2-0, and 4-0 in Crimmitschau's favor. The decisive phase was the third, when Crimmitschau extended a two-goal cushion into a four-goal final margin.
The most telling number is the zero next to Halle's name, a full-game shutout over three periods. The way Crimmitschau’s goals were distributed—one, one, two—shows a steady, controlled performance rather than a late rally.
