sport1.de Happy ending after drama! DEB women at the Olympics 4 hours • 2 minutes reading time Thanks to the twins Lilli and Luisa Welcke, Germany's women's ice hockey team is back at the Olympics for the first time since 2014. The end of the game against Hungary is dramatic. What a crazy ending! After dramatic final seconds, the German women's ice hockey team made it to the Olympic Games for the first time since 2014. The team of national coach Jeff MacLeod won the showdown for the last ticket to Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo at the qualification tournament in Bremerhaven on Sunday with a score of 2:1 (0:0, 1:1, 1:0) against Hungary thanks to the Welcke twins Lilli and Luisa. Germany celebrates - then it gets crazy When the final whistle sounded, things got dramatic: the German women celebrated and the substitutes were already jumping onto the ice when the puck ended up in the German net - and to the surprise of many, an official pointed to the goal. "What's going on here?" Magenta expert Anna Reich shouted in horror. Commentator Christoph Fetzer could hardly believe it either. But the main referee quickly made it clear that the goal would not be recognized because the puck landed in the net too late. The Hungarians protested, but the images clearly showed that the clock had run out when the puck crossed the line. Twins shoot Germany to the Olympics Lilli Welcke (28th) put the German Ice Hockey Federation (DEB) team in the lead in front of 2,511 spectators. Mira Seregely (29th) equalized for the Hungarians, trained by former men's national coach Pat Cortina, just 70 seconds later. Luisa Welcke (44th) scored at the beginning of the final third to win the match and secure the fourth participation in the Winter Games for the German women's ice hockey team. Germany had won the first two games against Austria (2:0) and Slovakia (6:1). Hungary had also started the tournament with two wins - one after overtime. It was already clear before the game: the winner of the direct duel would go to the Olympics.
