Unia Oświęcim welcomed Eisbären Berlin to the Hala Lodowa MOSiR ice rink in Poland for their second game of the 2024/25 CHL season. The Poles earned their first point of the season from an overtime loss, while the visiting Germans were still searching for their first points. With both teams eager for a victory, it was an exciting matchup.

Eisbären Berlin wasted no time taking the lead, with Blain Byron scoring his first goal of the tournament at 11:01. Given too much space in the right circle, he fired a precise shot just over the goalie’s pads to make it 1-0. However, Unia Oświęcim quickly responded on the powerplay, capitalising on a slashing penalty against Berlin’s Wiederer. Hampus Olsson found the back of the net to level the score. By the end of the first twenty minutes, Eisbären showed their quality, but Oświęcim also proved they were worthy opponents.

The second period saw Eisbären regain the lead, with Lean Bergmann firing a pinpoint shot just under the crossbar. The visitors looked more comfortable in their play, but Oświęcim still created chances, including a few breakaways and a powerplay opportunity, showing they weren’t backing down.

Eisbären controlled much of the final period, adding two more goals to solidify their lead at 4-1. Zachary Boychuk orchestrated the first goal of the period, taking advantage of a two-on-one break before perfectly timing a pass to Marcel Noebels, who buried it in the open net. The fourth goal came from Jonas Müller, who unleashed a perfectly aimed shot to seal the win.

Oświęcim had one last chance to stage a comeback with a lengthy 5-on-3 powerplay, but Eisbären’s defence held firm, defending their 4-1 lead until the final buzzer and winning the reigning DEL champions their first points of the season.
