The first in the table against the second in the table: The top game in the Alps Hockey League took place in Bruneck's Rienzstadion on Thursday evening. 1200 paying visitors did not miss the big AlpsHL game. The fanatical Puster fans got their money's worth and can continue to dream. In an intense game, the Wolves had the upper hand 2-1.

First things first: The first third remained goalless. However, there were some penalties. In the hard-fought game, the home side had already received 12 penalty minutes before the first half-time break, while the guests were on the bench for a total of 8 minutes in the first half.

The spectators also saw a competitive game in the second third. After 2 minutes it was finally the Finnish striker Teemu Virtala who made it 32.44-1 for the “Wolves”. Less than a minute later, second-placed Austria struck back. Max Wilfan equalized for the guests.

At the beginning of the third third (41.46), Raphael Andergassen finally gave Puster the much-celebrated lead again. The “Wolves” managed to keep their narrow lead over time. This meant that the HCP was able to keep its pursuers at a distance and is still at the top as the sole leader after 8 games and 24 points.

The video shows the last minutes of the top game and the celebrations by the team and fans:

Debacle for Ritten However, the Rittner Buam suffered a bitter defeat. At home against Jesenice it was 1:4. It was the first home defeat for last year's finalists and the fourth defeat overall in the seventh championship game.

The match was quite even at the beginning. Jesenice then increased the pace and took the lead after 12.36:65 minutes. Luka Basic put the Slovenians in front, 2 seconds later defender Jesse Jyrkkiö increased the score to 0-14. This situation remained the same until the half-time break. Jesenice took advantage of the few chances they had, while Ritten was caught by goalie Clarke Saunders XNUMX times in the first third.

Two goals were scored in the middle third in the final minute. Double goal scorer Luka Basic first defeated Thomas Tragust to make it 3-0, then five seconds before the second siren the Latvian newcomer Olegs Sislannikovs reduced the score to 1-3 with his second goal of the season. Ten minutes before the end of the game, the guests made the decision. Again it was the outstanding Basic who completed his personal hat trick and made it 4-1. Ritten could no longer react and so the Slovenians' away win remained. Jesenice's Luka Basic almost single-handedly dismantled Ritten.

Ritten will meet Slovenia again in Klobenstein in around a week, then as part of the Continental Cup. Broncos live up to their role as favorites Things went better for the Wipptal Broncos. Vipiteno left nothing to be desired against the penultimate KAC 2 and triumphed 7-3 in front of the home crowd.
