Elite.A: Ritten beats Asiago and climbs to the top alone

Asiago had to make do without the two injured Ulmer and Marchetti. Coach Parco also sent Mark Zanette onto the ice as a defender. At Ritten, Coach Wilson had to do without Ruben Rampazzo, who was absent due to work. As a surplus foreigner, he completely unexpectedly sent Patrick Rissmiller into the stands and gave preference to defender Urquhart.

The match started with a bang, as after just 18 seconds DiDomenico put the home team in the lead with a shot that was by no means unstoppable. Mason didn't cut the best figure. Ritten was by no means shocked by the goal, but rather encouraged. And so the “Buam” managed to equalize in the sixth minute of the game when Spinell used a Daccordo assist. Afterwards, Asiago almost hit back again, but DiDomenico only hit the outside post in the power play. The South Tyrolean club did better. Also with one more man on the ice, Johansson made it 2-1 from Rittner's perspective with a shot that was actually intended as a pass and landed between Marozzi's leg pads in the goal (11.42).

Rides with optimal opportunity evaluation After a quarter of an hour, Ansoldi almost scored the visitors' third goal, but his shot was too central. Siddall then missed a good opportunity when he had the advantage, before Urquhart made it 18.04-3 with a shot into the top corner after 1:XNUMX minutes. Ritten played an excellent game against the Italian champions.

Asiago got going better in the middle third. With Spinell and Ramsey in the penalty box, Mason initially blocked a shot from DiDomenico, but was powerless on DeVergilio's attempt (23.50). In the 25th minute, Borelli missed his goal from point-blank range and the home team were immediately punished. Daccordo with the assist for Spinell, who made it 4-2 with his second goal of the evening. Just seconds later Ansoldi could have increased it to 5:2, but he missed miserably in front of Marozzi. Sullivan then tried, but Mason's leg pad got in the way. In the 38th minute, Siddall made it 5-2 when he beat Marozzi with a low shot. The Wilson team was almost perfect in evaluating their chances.

Ritten cleverly defended his three-goal lead in the final third. Only 54 seconds before the end were the home team able to break through the bulwark in the power play when Sullivan reduced the score to 3:5. But it was just cosmetic results – nothing more, nothing less.
