HCB Südtirol has to admit defeat to Vienna Capitals

After two wins in a row (most recently on Saturday evening against Znojmo), HCB Südtirol suffered a defeat. Despite a good fighting performance, the Foxes had no chance against the Vienna Capitals. For the Vienna team, goalie Matt Zaba returned to his former place of work. Bozen's coach Pokel had to do without Sharp and Insam. He lined up Günther Hell in goal.

The game itself started very quickly, there was no hesitation for long. The Vienna Capitals created a number of opportunities and after 9.52:2 minutes Benoit Gratton gave the visitors the lead. Peter Sweda made it 0-XNUMX exactly five minutes later, giving Hell no chance with a powerful shot from the blue line.

In the middle third, the Foxes were unable to take advantage of a double majority situation. Santorelli and Strömberg missed two good opportunities or were caught by the attentive Zaba. Nevertheless, the home team managed to score again, thanks to Rick Schofield (26.02). After some nice preparatory work from Zisser, he scored to make it 1-2. But less than two minutes later, the Viennese club restored their two-goal lead when Francois Fortier completed a counterattack in an exemplary manner and capitalized on an assist from Rotter. Keller made it 4-1 before the second half-time break - the match was decided.

The Vienna Capitals continued to set the pace in the final third and even made it 5-1 with Michael Schiechl. But Bolzano was still able to cosmeticize the results, as Kim Strömberg and Mark Santorelli scored two more goals in favor of the Italian record champions. The white and reds can't take a breather for long. On Tuesday it's against Red Bull Salzburg - and again in front of their home crowd.
