Third test match, third defeat for the Olympic team

The Italian Olympic team will be at a training camp in Piedmont until August 26th. There were also several test games. After two games against HC Saryarka Karaganda from Kazakhstan, both of which the Italians lost, they faced the Ukrainian team from HC Berkut Kiev on Wednesday evening.

In the first third, the “Azzurri” tried very hard in attack, but nothing countable came of it. Two outnumbered situations also passed without a goal being scored before Volchek completed a counterattack in an exemplary manner and Gianluca Vallini lost out. Kiev's second goal came a few seconds before the end of the first period, when the Azzurri were playing with one less man on the ice.

In the second third, the Olympic team scored again. Caletti served Markus Gander ideally, so that all he had to do was push the puck over the line. Now the match was open again and there were many scoring opportunities on both sides. However, the Ukrainians were once again more callous when it came to evaluating their chances, making it 3-1 with a long-range shot from Berkut.

After a brawl, Migliore, Calletti and three Kiev players were sent to the “cooler” with a 2+2 penalty. Shortly afterwards, Uri Elissenko increased the score to 4:1. In the third third, the Ukrainians made cosmetic results with goals five and six.

The Italian national team will play a fourth friendly match on Friday at 20 p.m. At 20 p.m. the “Azzurri” face HC Kuban Krasnodar.
