The highly anticipated top-of-the-table clash between Naturns, second in the regional league, and league leaders Bruneck had to be cancelled last Sunday. The reason was a frozen pitch in the lower Vinschgau valley. Both captains and the referee deemed the risk of injury too high and decided to postpone the match.

The match was finally played on Wednesday at the Confluenza artificial turf pitch in Merano: Although the teams drew 2-2, Bruneck celebrated – the reason being that Roberto Fuschini's team secured the title of autumn champions of the Landesliga with the point gained. With one game remaining, Bruneck's five-point lead is uncatchable.

Lukas Lanzinger gave Bruneck the lead in the first half. After the break, Thomas Mair equalized, before Justin Pfeifer put the Puster Valley team back in front. Naturns didn't give up, however: with just under 15 minutes remaining, Alex Spechtenhauser leveled the score – and that's how it stayed, even though Naturns' defensive leader Daniele De Simone was shown a red card ten minutes from time.
