Bolzano wins derby against Pustertal, but loses to Christian Borgatello

Before the game, HCB coach Adolf Insam was happy because the entire squad was finally at his disposal. Only new signing Samuli Suhonen was missing; he will only make his Serie A debut on Saturday against Fassa. "It is really incredible. We've been full for two games, that's never been the case this year and now there's this injury again,” says Insam angrily. Puster coach Stefan Mair also had to do without two players: Lukas Tauber and Thomas Erlacher.

The guests from Bruneck had their first big opportunity to score in the 3.35 minute, but Rob Sirianni was denied by Matt Zaba. Two minutes later, Mike Souza gave away the HCB's possible lead after a wonderful assist from Bernard. In the 8.25 minute, Jensen and Busto had to go to the penalty box at the same time, a minute later Mazzolini outplayed the entire Puster defense and passed on Giulio Scandella, who made it 1-0. Shortly before the first period break, Walcher played Enrico Dorigatti free, but the Bolzano striker was no longer able to accept the pass. The middle third began with a huge chance for Colton Fretter, who was the only one missed in front of Strömberg. In the 26.23 minute, Souza was also denied by the Puster goalkeeper. Di Casmirro could have equalized twenty seconds before the half-time whistle, but David Ceresa was just able to save. In the final third, Marco Insam missed a good opportunity after a mistake by Mair, then Max Oberrauch failed on the other side in front of Zaba. Five minutes before the end of the game, Nick Mazzolini finally decided the game 2-0 on a pass from Scandella and secured his team their third win in a row against the Puster “Wolves”.

Ritten gets three points against Pontebba Ritten did his duty in the home game against Pontebba and got three points. Bruno Aegerter's team won 4-1, but could easily have won by a bigger score. The Finnish newcomer Lasse Korhonen celebrated his debut with the Rittner Buam, Dan Tudin also returned to the team and put his team in the lead after just 76 seconds. In the 11.58 minute Rolly Ramoser increased the score to 2-0. In the 25.26 minute, Nick Deschenes made the preliminary decision. Five minutes later, the Friulians managed to score the next goal with Puster player Patrick Rizzo, but Kevin Baker scored the final point in the 41.23 minute, making it 4-1.

Three game days before the end of the regular season, Pustertal leads the table with 78 points, ahead of Ritten (73), Bozen (72) and Asiago (69). On Thursday the HCB takes a break, Pustertal welcomes Fassa and Ritten plays in Asiago.
