Let the games begin: on April, 18th, Leipzig hosted Weißenfels in a best-of-three final to decide the German Championship. Dominating the whole season, Weißenfels was the positive favourite in this duel.
In the first half, both teams could rely on their great defensive work. Having a great chance to score by themselves with one man in advance, Leipzig caught a short-hander about one minute before the first break. In second half, the hosting team got a five minute major bench penalty which made Weißenfels score three goals and decide the match. After that, the match was a great playoff-fight again, but Leipzig could not manage to close up again as they wasted too many chances.
