3-2 win after penalty shootout: Ritten equalizes the series

For the Rittners, Fabian Weinhandl returned between the posts on Thursday, while Justin DiBenedetto had to watch the match from the stands as a supernumerary foreigner. The home team got off to a good start in the Ritten arena and were undoubtedly the dominant team in the first third. So it was hardly surprising that they took the lead in the 11.50:XNUMX minute with a goal from Julian Kostner. There was initially no reaction from the guests, even a double power play did not lead to a goal.

Diego Iori equalizes At the beginning of the middle section, however, the Rittner Buam had to miss an advantage situation. The guests from Veneto increasingly increased the intensity and pushed for the equalizer, which finally came in the 27.23 minute in a four-on-four situation: Iori captured the puck in front of the opponent's goal and ultimately gave Weinhandl the disadvantage. Ramsey and Co. came close to scoring the opening goal several times, but Asiago goalkeeper Vincenzo Marozzi was always there. So in the 45.49 minute it was the guests who finally took the lead for the first time thanks to a goal from Layne Ulmer.

Luca Ansoldi sends the teams into extra time

The Rittners didn't let this deter them, regrouped and got back into the game around seven minutes before the end. Eric Johansson passed to the middle, where Luca Ansoldi was in the right place, drove the puck into the back of the net to make it 2-2 and send the two teams into overtime.

Bentivoglio tried it there first, but then it was the Rittner Buam's turn. In the 67th minute, Simon Kostner had to miss a top-class opportunity. Four minutes later, Michele Strazzabosco tried for the visitors, but his shot hit the post. Afterwards, the Raymond team with the Johansson-Ansoldi duo became dangerous again, but Marozzi was able to avert defeat with another brilliant save.

Ritten does it in the penalty shootout Just before the fourth siren sounded, Dan Tudin was fouled in front of the goal. However, the penalty demanded by the home team was not given by the referees. So the decision had to be made in the subsequent penalty shootout. The home team had the better end there and ultimately retained the upper hand thanks to goals from Simon Kostner and Patrick Rissmiller (the latter scored the decisive penalty).
