Euro Ice Hockey Challenge: Italy ensures a brilliant conclusion

The Blue Team, which competed in Budapest without "Italos", finished the tournament in last place, but ensured a conciliatory conclusion with a 4:3 win after a penalty shootout against the favored Hungarians.

Coach Zanatta relied on Philipp Kosta in goal for the first time and had Oberdörfer and Rampazzo paused in the last game. Diego Kostner was also unable to take part due to a minor muscle injury. In the eighth minute, the otherwise extremely strong Kosta had to reach behind himself for the first time when Sziranyi finished. In the middle section, however, Willeit was able to equalize for Italy before Hofer even secured the lead for the first time after the break. It was the Azzurri's first power play goal of the entire tournament. Raphale Andergassen went one better and increased - also in the majority - to 3:1. However, Ungern found his way back into the game. First Kovacs shortened the score, then Nagy sent both teams into extra time with three minutes left. Luca Zanatta was no longer allowed to contest this. He had to leave the ice shortly before the end with a game misconduct penalty and was only peripherally aware of his teammates' victory. In the penalty shootout, Simon Kostner let the Italians celebrate.

Hungary - Italy 3:4 nP (1:0, 0:1, 2:2, 0:0 0:1) 1:0 Bence Sziranyi (07.02), 1:1 Christian Willeit (39.24), 1:2 Armin Hofer (44.57), 1:3 Raphael Andergassen (48.24), 2:3 Csaba Kovacs (52.06), 3:3 Krisztian Nagy (57.27), decisive penalty: Simon Kostner (Italy)
