Bolzano says goodbye to the Champions League with a win

Both teams played the last preliminary round game today with weakened substitutes. Bolzano was missing the ailing Alexander Egger and Günther Hell, as well as the foreigners McMonagle, Keller, Galvins and Zanoski, all four of whom are not allowed to play in the Champions League. Pardubice even did without 13 regular players. The two referees from Bolzano, Daniel Gamper and Uli Pardatscher, celebrated their debut in the premier class. The Ebel master started very offensively and forced the guests to commit a lot of fouls in the early stages. However, Bolzano was unable to take advantage of its numerical superiority. The Foxes even played with five field players against three Czechs for a full 105 seconds, but there was only one chance to score, which Sisca missed. In the 15th minute, Zanette tried to counterattack, but his diagonal shot hit the outside post. Shortly before the first third break, Schofield had to take a shower early because of a blow from the stick. Pardubice took advantage of the power play and took the lead 19.46-1 in the 0 minute with Lukas Radil. At the beginning of the middle third, the guests, again in the majority, increased the score to 2-0. Scotka deflected a long-range shot from Gregorc into Hübl's box. Bolzano couldn't cope with the Czechs' fast game at all during this phase. In the following minutes, Hübl saved his team from an even greater deficit with several brilliant saves. After half the match, the Foxes got back into the game better. First Sisca failed because of Halasz, then Markus Gander reduced the score to 1:2. Lee pulled away from the blue line in the 34.25 minute and the Vipiteno striker directed the puck into the Czech goal to make it 1-2. The Bolzano team's joy only lasted 38 seconds, as Lukas Radil restored the two-goal lead with a precise shot in 35.03 minutes. Immediately afterwards, Nahodil also hit the post. After forty minutes, Pardubice led 3-1.

Incredible comeback in the final third But Bozen didn't give up and started an incredible comeback in the final third. In the 44.53 minute, Marco Insam scored the goal to make it 2:3 and made the encounter exciting again. De Simone and Sisca then narrowly missed the equalizer. Eight minutes before the end of the game, Sisca released Stefan Zisser, who made it 3-3. The Foxes' number 2 played in the Bolzano defense from the beginning of the middle third. Things got even better for the home team. In the 55.23 minute, Zisser first saved on a Czech counterattack and then passed Marco Insam, who scored to make the final score 4-3. It was the fifth CHL goal for the Bolzano striker. In general, the local players were crucial today, as they scored all four goals. And now the HCB fans are looking forward to the Ebel derby on Friday against Innsbruck.
