Gates: 0:1 Deluca (4.16), 0:2 Bernard (25.47), 1:2 Fischer (29.59), 2:2 Comrie (38.51), 3:2 Neal (39.54), 3:3 Blunden (48.05), 4 :3 Witting (49.00), 5:3 Kozek (59.06)

Penalty minutes: 4:8

Status in the series: 4:1, KAC in the semifinals Ticker 1:0 for the HCB: Bolzano in the power play. After a shot from Campbell from the blue line, Deluca steers the puck into the goal to give Bolzano the lead.

1st third break in Klagenfurt: The HCB leads 1-0 – and with a bit of luck. In the finish, the KAC had some good opportunities, including a mega chance from Wahl after a misfire by Geiger, who served the home team the puck on a silver platter in front of Smith's goal. So far only one goal has been scored - that by Deluca.

2-0 by Bernard: A few seconds after Insam hit the post while outnumbered, captain Bernard completed a backhander to make it 2-0 for the Foxes.

Goal to make it 2-1: Defender Fischer brings Klagenfurt closer again with his seventh goal of the season, a powerful shot from a half-left position.

2:2 equalizer from Comrie: A good minute before the second period break, the KAC equalized. Once again it's a defender, this time the Canadian Comrie.

Neal scores to make it 3:2: This is bitter for HC Bozen. Six seconds before the half-time siren, Neal is there and directs the puck past Smith into the goal to give KAC the lead for the first time - 3-2.

2st third break in Klagenfurt: The start of the second third belonged to the Foxes – including a shot from the pole, a goal and other good chances. Then the home team took over the scepter. First there was the goal and when the HCB seemed to be mentally already in the dressing room, the Carinthians struck twice ice-cold. Now it's important in the final third: If the “Foxes” don't want to go on vacation, then the deficit has to be turned around. Otherwise, the EBEL adventure 2018/19 is over.

Blunden scores to make it 3-3: The equalizer for the Foxes! Blunden marches through the entire KAC defense line and hits the crossbar with a dry shot - Bozen is back again.

4:3 for the KAC: The HCB's joy about the equalizer didn't last long. Just seconds later, the Carinthians take the lead again. Smith initially clears, but lies on the ground and is powerless against Witting's rebound.

KAC scores for the 5th time: 5:3 for the KAC, that was probably it for the HCB. Kozek defeated the Foxes in the first game and will probably give the “Foxes” the stab in the back in game 5.

It is from: The HCB can no longer turn the game around and loses for the fourth time in the fifth playoff match - this time 3:5. The KAC has won the best-of-seven series. For the Foxes, however, the season is over.
