2-1 win: The Rittner Buam force the seventh game

In the sold-out Arena Ritten in Klobenstein, Asiago had to do without Sean Bentivoglio. The striker recently returned overseas as his wife is expecting a child. Coach Parco used Matteo Tesari with Ulmer and Devergilio. Markus Spinell, who has served his suspension, returned to the team for the reigning Italian champions on Easter Monday.

In a lively first third, the home team initially tried to take the scepter into their hands. After less than a minute, Casetti lost the puck in the corner, which the Rittners immediately captured. Simon Kostner then aimed for the goal, but Marozzi was there. As time went by, the guests found their way into the game more and more and had a great chance as time passed. Marchetti fed Borelli from the blue line, but he hit the crossbar. A little later, Miglioranzi had to leave the ice injured after he slipped and hit the boards. As a result, the Rittners put a lot of pressure on the opponent's goal, but the spectators initially didn't see any hits in the first half of the game.

Rissimiller puts the home team in the lead At the beginning of the middle third, little happened. Ritten pushed for the opening goal, but the guests from Veneto had the first chance on the stick. Nigro fed Iori, but he couldn't direct the puck into the goal. The home team increasingly increased their intensity and finally took the lead in the 27.05 minute. After a pass from Scelfo, Tudin tried first. Marozzi was able to fend off this shot, but Rissmiller was wide awake and pushed the rebound over the line. However, around nine minutes later, the guests from Veneto managed to equalize. Weinhandl was able to deflect a shot from Hotman, but he had no chance when Borelli rebounded.

Borgatello shoots the Buam to victory In the final third, the Rittner Buam initially had to miss two power play situations. The game slowed down a bit before the decision was made in the 52.03 minute. Johansson got the puck in the corner and fed Borgatello, who gave Marozzi no chance and smashed the puck into the back of the net for a 2-1 win. With one minute left, Asiago coach Parco called a time out. Marozzi then left the goal for a sixth field player, but the result did not change.

In the best-of-seven series the score is 3:3. The decision for the Italian championship title will be made on Thursday in the Odegar Stadium in Asiago.
