EBEL: Bolzano loses top game and league lead

Exactly 5412 days after the duel in the Alpine League, Villacher SV and HC Bozen met again for the first time on Friday evening. John Esposito was missing from the guests, while the traditional Carinthian club had to do without the injured Scott Hotham, Marco Pewal and Ruslan Gelfanov. Nevertheless, the VSV went at a high pace from the start. The Austrians' second outnumbered situation ultimately made it 1-0. While Marco Insam was languishing in the cooler, Derek Ryan set up Markus Peintner, who put the puck into the net. After 18.44 minutes, Schofield was in the penalty box when Curtis Fraiser made it 2-0 from a commotion in front of the HCB goal. The HCB had no access to the game at this point.

Double pack from Kim Strömberg However, this changed after the first break, because after 21.04:4 minutes, Kim Strömberg was wide awake after a blocked Santorelli shot and scored the South Tyroleans' goal. However, their period of pressure only lasted for a short time before VSV took the reins again and moved away to 1-25.19 within three minutes. Curtis Fraiser (28.41) and John Hughes (2) increased the result. This was followed by a timeout by HCB coach Tom Pokel, who rearranged his team. With success, because immediately after the game was interrupted, Strömberg reduced the score to 4:XNUMX after a shot from Sebastien Pichè. However, Bozen still had great difficulty keeping the home team's enormous offensive potential in check and repeatedly providing relief attacks.

In the last half, too, the HCB acted primarily on the defensive, also due to the fact that the White-Reds repeatedly weakened themselves through unnecessary penalties. However, Hübl held tight at the back. Pichè and Markus Peintner provided a show by engaging in a short boxing match (five-minute penalty for both). Bozen then came very close to scoring their third goal from Strömberg and Withfield. Two minutes before the end, Hübl made room for a sixth field player. But after Sharp missed the last high-class chance with 42 seconds left, Villach's victory could no longer be shaken.

Alex Egger and Co. are now traveling directly to Laibach, where the next championship game is scheduled for Sunday. Next Friday, however, Bolzano has the chance for revenge in the home game against Villach.
