The Foxes also bring the champions to their knees

The Foxes got off to a strong start straight away and Vallerand had the first opportunity to score. But the home team were also dangerous on the counterattack and Raffl missed the ball in front of the Bolzano goalie. Then Ryan Glenn launched a dangerous counter-attack, but was unable to get the ball into Gracnar's box. But the goal was only postponed and in the fourteenth minute the bell rang in Salzburg's goal. The goal was scored by Glenn, who was wonderfully released by Jesse Root in front of the Red Bulls' goal and gave the guests the lead with a "five-hole".

At the beginning of the middle third, the home team pressed for an equalizer, but had no compelling chances to score. So it was up to the guests to score another goal. Markus Gander fed Denny Kearney and it was 2-0 for the Foxes. Immediately afterwards, the HCB had the opportunity to decide the game early. A two-minute double power play did not bring the hoped-for success. Salzburg's response was a long time coming, also because the Foxes were very well positioned defensively. On the contrary, Oleksuk had the opportunity to score the third goal with a solo run, but Gracnar could not be overcome.

The Red Bulls also failed to put the Bolzano team in trouble in the final third. The Foxes had another chance to decide the game when Yogan started one of his dreaded slalom runs. Two minutes before the end of the match things got exciting again when the Red Bulls got back into the game with a goal from Olson, who used a rebound. However, the home team's last attack was countered by an orderly defensive performance from the Foxes and the 2-1 win was safely achieved.

The next games for HCB Südtriol Alperia will take place next Friday and Saturday against Olimpija Ljubljana and Fehervar AV19 in the Eiswelle.
