The HCB Südtirol is tripping up Graz

HCB Südtirol had to do without Mark Cullen in the home game against the Graz 99ers, which was watched by 2200 spectators. Markus Gander returned to the team, although he was not yet 100 percent fit after a hand injury.

The Foxes started strong and had two good opportunities through Keller and Pance. Zanette took advantage of the third opportunity and made it 6.35-1 after 0 minutes. Even after that, the white-reds dominated the game, with Sisca missing a top-class goal a short time later (10th). Afterwards, the guests also spoke up, but with Bastiansen and Scofield they stuck with Hübl. In the final phase of the starting third, Roland Hofer was injured and went off the ice.

After the break the home team tried hard and wanted to score the second goal. However, the Foxes' attempts to attack were too timid to put Sabourin in trouble in the 99ers' box. The only exception was a nice solo by Zanette, which got stuck on the Graz goalie. After a little more than half an hour, Gander hit the puck against the crossbar before Zagrapan, on the other side, pushed the puck onto the post. In the last minute of the second third, Gander, Insam and Egger stormed towards the Graz goal alone, but Gander finished instead of serving his better-placed teammates.

In the last part of the game, Keller tried from a distance, but the touchdown caused Sabourin more trouble than he would have liked. Hübl immediately had to intervene after a Werner shot. In the 48th minute, Rodney outplayed half of the Graz team, but got stuck to Sabourin. 120 seconds later, Marto had to clear on the line for the already beaten Graz goalkeeper when De Simone shot from a tight angle.

Six minutes from time McMonagle tried a backhand shot, but Sabourin was there again before Pance and Schofield were denied by the visitors' goalkeeper. In between, Kelly tried for Graz, but Hübl was at his post. In the final phase, Björkstrand took his goalie off the ice, but the White-Reds still had a narrow home win.
