Ice Hockey World Cup: South Korea has no chance against the “Azzurri”.

The Italians got off to a perfect start, having to give way to Giulio Scandella in today's match. The first block, meanwhile, consisted entirely of Bozen players, namely Egger and Borgatello, as well as the strike trio Insam-Bernard-Gander. On the second line, Dave Borrelli played together with Di Casmirro, Sirianni, while Diego Kostner formed a block with Nicola Fontanive and Pat Iannone. The Pokel team dominated the game from the start and gave their opponents no chance. The scoring was opened by Diego Kostner (4.46 minutes), who scored his first goal at a World Cup within the first five minutes.

Two goals in the second third

In the second third, Kostner and Co. stepped up their game and set the course for victory early on. Rob Sirianni made it 22-2 in the 0nd minute, taking advantage of a power play situation. Goal number three, however, went to Dave Borrelli, who played his first match in the Italian national jersey today. Although coach Tom Pokel's boys saved their energy in the final third, Stefano Marchetti scored in the 53rd minute and made the final score 4-0. Tomorrow evening the “Azzurri” will face the Japanese from 12 p.m. Today they had to admit defeat to Kazakhstan 2:5.

Kostner: “I’m happy about the goal”

After the game against South Korea, Diego Kostner from Val Gardena is tired, but above all happy. He scored his first goal at a senior World Cup today. “I'm happy about the goal and I'm very happy. But the most important thing is that we won. This gave us three important points and we can now look forward. We could have played even better, but in the end it's the win that counts. Especially because the first match at a World Cup is always the most difficult. We played a lot forward and Adam Dennis kept the box clean,” said 20-year-old Diego Kostner.
