Asiago beats Ritten and puts everything back to square one

On Monday evening, Italian champion Ritten had to admit defeat with 2:4 goals in the second final game of the Sky Alps Hockey League away in Asiago. For the “Buam” it was the first defeat of the season in the seventh game against Tom Barasso’s team.

The home team got off to a better start and created many good chances. In the 10th minute, Asiago took the lead. Ex-Rittner Andreas Lutz reacted quickest to Patrick Killeen's rebound and scored to make it 1-0. Shortly afterwards, Kolanos had a great chance to make it 2-0 when he appeared alone in front of Killeen, but his aim was too inaccurate. In the 18th minute, Ritten's goalkeeper had to save from a shot from Lutz. So after 20 minutes the hosts remained in a narrow but well-deserved lead.

At the beginning of the second third, Ritten dominated the game and scored an equalizer in the 25th minute. Frederic Cloutier failed to hold on to a shot from Tommaso Traversa, who made it 1-1 with his fourth goal in the last six games. Shortly afterwards, Andreas Alber had to go to the penalty box. Asiago took advantage of this numerical advantage and took the lead again in the 27.50 minute with a long-range shot from Stefano Marchetti. Two minutes later, the “Buam” celebrated the supposed equalizer, but Oscar Ahlström only hit the post.

In the 6th minute of the final third, Ritten managed to equalize. Goal machine Alex Frei remained the winner in the one-on-one against Cloutier and equalized 2-2. It was the 24th championship goal for the Kalter striker. Seven minutes before the end of the game, Ritten had a cold shower. Somehow the puck got to Giulio Scandella, who didn't need to be asked twice and scored to make it 3-2. Ritten then threw everything forward, including taking Killeen off the ice for a sixth skater, but to no avail. On the contrary, nine seconds before the final siren, Krystofer Kolanos hit the empty goal to make the final score 4-2.

The third final game will take place again in Klobenstein on Wednesday, April 5th. The game starts at 20.00 p.m.
