“Azzurri” start World Cup with victory against Poland

However, the match didn't start at all the way the new head coach of the "Azzurri" Clayton Beddoes had wanted, because in the 6th minute of the game Italy had to accept the 0-1 lead by Krzysztof Zapala and the score remained that way until the first third break.

In the second half, however, the “Azzurri” increased the pressure and managed to equalize in the 34th minute thanks to Giulio Scandella, one of the top performers from AHL champions Asiago, after a poke in front of the Polish goal. The pass came from the two South Tyroleans Raphael Andergassen (HC Pustertal) and Peter Hochkofler (Salzburg).

Second third ended early Shortly afterwards, the second period had to be interrupted early due to technical problems and the players were sent to the dressing rooms for the break four minutes before the end of the period.

After the restart, HCP veteran Armin Helfer put his team in the lead for the first time, officially one and a half minutes before the end of the second third. The pass came again from two South Tyroleans: Armin Hofer and again Raphael Andergassen.

At the end of the second 20 minutes, the teams remained on the ice but switched sides. As a result, Poland pushed for the equalizer, but rarely put Italy's goalie Marco De Filippo Roia, who was preferred over Andreas Bernard, in trouble. Three assists from Raphael Andergassen When Poland brought in a 6th outfield player instead of the goalkeeper in the final phase, 20-year-old Ivan Deluca from Vipiteno scored to make the final score 3-1. One of the assistants was once again Raphael Andergassen from Kalter, who was involved in all three goals for the “Azzurri”.
