South Tyrolean final in the Italian Cup: Ritten meets Pustertal

Alex Tauferer was missing from the home team, while David Urquhart had to go to the stands as a surplus foreigner. In his place, new signing Partick Rissmiller played in the second block with Tudin and Ansoldi. Valpellice, on the other hand, was able to compete with the best line-up. Around a hundred supporters from Piedmont supported their team.

The guests got off to a better start and had two good opportunities with Nunn and String, which Mason skillfully destroyed. Valpe stayed on the attack and deservedly took the lead in the 5.33:1 minute. Barney shot from the blue line and the rebound went to Brian Ihnacak, who scored to make it 0-7.20. Even after taking the lead, Valpellice pressured the Rittners into their own defense, but the home team took advantage of their first chance and equalized in the 1 minute with Johansson to make it 1-1. Nelson played Matt Siddall free on the counterattack and Eric Johansson converted the rebound. It remained 1-XNUMX after the first twenty minutes of the game.

In the middle third, both teams kept the high tempo, but hardly had any chances to score. Valpellice dictated the game, Ritten waited for counterattack opportunities. Shortly before the last substitution, Luca Ansoldi was denied by Valpe goalkeeper Frazee in the power play.

Emanuel Scelfo decides the match

In the final third, Ritten took command while Valpellice retreated more and more. In the 21.46 minute, the hosts' third line struck: Spinell prepared the counterattack, Emanuel Scelfo converted it to make it 2-1. Two hits, two counterattacks. Ritten then defended the lead and could have finally closed the bag with Daccordo, but the 29-year-old failed alone in front of Frazee. Flanagan took Frazee off the ice 1.22:XNUMX minutes before the final siren, but nothing changed in the result: Ritten is in the final and will face Pustertal in the South Tyrolean derby on Sunday.
