Chris DeSousa redeems the HCB

The match winner is veteran Chris DeSousa, the offensive player made it 1-0 after four minutes, and in stoppage time he redeemed the HCB with his winning goal. The assist came from Michael Halmo on both goals. But first things first: The guests managed to equalize on a power play in the first third. The Foxes put a lot of pressure on in the middle third, but nothing countable came from either side. When it came to shots on goal, Bozen was clearly superior with 12:6. In the final third, the game sputtered along, with 3-2 shots on goal, the 2700 spectators in the ice wave didn't get to see much, and the game went into overtime. There the duo DeSousa/Halmo closed the bag after three minutes. The revenge for the 4:5 defeat in the first leg in the penalty shootout was successful.

The win against Villach is positive for the Foxes' morale, but the HCB remains bottom of the table - four points behind Fehervar.

On Sunday the HCB welcomes third-placed Linz.
