Smooth home win: The Foxes can celebrate for the first time

HCB coach Kai Suikkanen resigned just 48 hours after Home defeat against Graz on Viktor Schweitzer and Andrew Crescenzi, who was slightly injured while warming up. Massimo Carozza was on the bench but did not play. For him was allowed again Daniel frank ran, who was awarded the “Award for Fighting Spirit” immediately before the game, which is awarded annually by the HCB fans and an expert jury.

Daniel Frank was honored with a fan award before the start of the game.

Contrary to what the result suggests, the guests from Hungary were initially much more powerful. The action took place mainly in the Bolzano third. It was only towards the end of the first period that the Foxes became more enthusiastic and were promptly rewarded with a 1-0 lead. After a nice puck relay via Paul Geiger and Marco Insam, Alex Petan steered the puck into the goal. Things take off in the second third Immediately after the restart, Fehérvár struck back: Harri Tikkanen – one of three Finns in the Eastern European squad – equalized with a shot into the far corner. But this was just a brief flash in the pan for the guests, who were pushed out of the picture as the middle third progressed. Halfway through the game, Riley Brace completed a perfectly executed counterattack to make it 2-1, and just two minutes later Paul Geiger increased the score with a shot from a tight angle. Then only three revolutions of the pointer passed before Angelo Miceli pushed the puck over the line from close range to make it 4-1. Another Geiger shot hit the outside post, then Fehérvár was allowed into the locker room and thus evaded the master's rolling attacks. In this scene, Angelo Miceli scores to make it 4-1.

However, the Hungarians' breather was only short-lived, because after the end of the second break, the HCB continued exactly where it had left off a quarter of an hour earlier: scoring goals. Immediately after the restart, Luca Frigo kept his perspective in a stab and lifted the disc into the top corner. Fehérvár then scored a hit on the crossbar and the second goal from Bence Stipsicz, but the victory could no longer be taken away from Bozen. In the final phase, Brett Findlay showed one or two tricks, then it was over and the title holder's first intermediate round victory was bagged.
