Ferlach played host to UHK Krems on Saturday evening in the Austrian top flight, and the match finished 26:26. The result means neither side takes anything from the encounter, a scoreline that sits uncomfortably against the table positions.
Ferlach arrived in second place with nine points from six games, three wins and three defeats. They had drawn twice in their last three outings — 28:28 with Atzgersdorf, 33:33 with Bregenz — before picking up victories against Kindil Fey on two occasions. UHK Krems sat 11th with just three points, one win and four draws from six matches, and had lost four of their last five games, including a heavy 30:35 defeat to Föslauer HC.
and here's the thing, the high-scoring nature of the draw suggests both sides were willing to open up, but neither could find the winning edge. By then, the match had settled into a rhythm where goals were traded freely, and the visitors held on for a result that feels generous given their recent run.
After this match, Ferlach remain in second place with nine points, while UHK Krems move up to fourth on three points. The gap between them shrinks, though the points tally tells a different story about consistency. Ferlach's draw streak continues, while UHK Krems add another point to a collection built on draws rather than wins.
We had backed Ferlach to win with 56 per cent confidence, but the match played out differently. The hosts switched off at the back in moments that mattered, and UHK Krems came from behind to take something from the game.
