Although we weren’t supposed to have another game today since Tritons unfortunately can’t compete in the small final (they aren’t even in the hall anymore), we are playing a friendly match against TIGERs Mannheim.
As always, the game can be watched on the livestream from TIGERs Mannheim:
This game has a special feature: TIGERs will always play with the same number of robots as we have on the field. This has already led them to take one robot off the field before the game started.
First Half
| 05:00 | The game begins: ER-Force is playing in yellow, TIGERs in blue. |
| 04:06 | With a few outbursts, we are actually playing quite well and even have a few shots on goal now and then. |
| 04:06 | At some point, there was probably a goal, but none of us noticed. We trust TIGERs on this one, so: Goal for TIGERs. |
| ER-Force 0 : 1 TIGERs Mannheim | |
| 03:36 | After heated duels in our half, our robot seems to lose interest and kicks the ball mercilessly out of the field. |
| 03:21 | The duels continue in our half. Eventually, TIGERs manage to score. |
| ER-Force 0 : 2 TIGERs Mannheim | |
| 03:02 | Still some nice scenes from our robots and occasionally a shot on goal. Definitely a much better performance than the last two days. |
| 02:01 | Again, some nice game situations for both sides. Overall, the game is quite fluid, and there are some nice long passes from both teams across the field. A very lively and balanced game. |
| 00:34 | The stream of this game is really recommended. We no longer give Mannheim any gaps or breaks; our goal is currently secure. |
| -00:29 | The last minute has been dangerously long in our half, and there have been some scary moments. But the first half ends without another goal, our defense still holds. |
Second Half
| 05:00 | And the second half begins. |
| 04:28 | Again, the ball is in our half for a long time, and our goalkeeper is intensely arguing with one of our field players. Moreover, he simply doesn’t kick the ball away. And so it happens: Goal for Mannheim! |
| ER-Force 0 : 3 TIGERs Mannheim | |
| 04:02 | OK, that was unfortunate: For some reason, our communication didn’t work, maybe someone bumped into it. As a result, our robots just stood still, and TIGERs could shoot into the undefended goal. |
| ER-Force 0 : 4 TIGERs Mannheim | |
| 02:50 | Now the game is playing a bit more in the Mannheim half. Let’s see if we can score a goal against the world champion. |
| 01:24 | An extremely long game in midfield and the TIGERs’ half. Our robots keep trying for the goal, but they just can’t get past the defense and the goalkeeper. |
| 00:59 | That was close! A short duel near our goal, then the shot, but just missed! The score remains unchanged. |
| 00:52 | But now, unfortunately, it happened: Still dueling in our half, but our robots sometimes just don’t shoot. Probably the light barrier doesn’t recognize the ball. Be that as it may: Goal for TIGERs. |
| ER-Force 0 : 5 TIGERs Mannheim | |
| 00:34 | And timeout for us: The AI is set to aggressive. |
| 00:09 | That’s the disadvantage of Main Aggressive: When the ball comes into our half, there are no defenders left. And so another goal is scored against us. But what the heck: It was still worth it. |
| ER-Force 0 : 6 TIGERs Mannheim | |
| 00:00 | And so the game unfortunately ends goalless for us. But still, it was a very nice culmination for the tournament: Eight of our robots were on the field and could play for an entire half. Even our Victory Move was not prepared for that; it apparently can’t handle so many robots. So we let TIGERs have their Victory Moves. For now. |
