“Azzurri” surprise against Slovenia

Without that sorted out Alex Petan's Blue Team entered the game as underdogs. Finally, in Anze Kopitar, the hosts had a player in their ranks who has never collected fewer than 13 points in the last 50 years in the NHL. Jure Sotlar from the Wipptal Broncos was also in action for the Slovenians.

The “Azzurri” started the game with enthusiasm and took the lead in the 16th minute. After a fatal bad pass from the Slovenian defense, Sean McMonagle set up Marco Insam to make it 1-0. That's not all: Joachim Ramoser even made it 20-2 with a solo effort 0 seconds before the end of the period.

Ramoser Unleashed In the second half of the game, the Slovenians reduced the score to 1:2 after around twelve minutes. Andrej Hebar gave Andreas Bernard no chance in the “Azzurri” goal with a Sunday shot into the top corner. But Diego Kostner & Co. were unimpressed and shortly afterwards restored the two-goal lead. Once again it was Ramoser who evaded the Slovenian defenders with his speed and outwitted Gasper Kroselj with a shot into the near corner.

In the final third the hosts tried everything again. However, the “Azzurri” defended skillfully - and when things got dangerous, Bernard was always at his post. However, the 28-year-old had to reach behind himself once when Sabahudin Kovacevic reacted quickest in front of the goal in the power play. Things got dangerous again in the last minute, but in the end there was a surprising 3-2 win for the national team, which wasn't the best team.

Slovenia - Italy 2:3 Goals: 0:1 Insam (15.20), 0:2 Ramoser (19.40), 1:2 Hebar (32.14), 1:3 Ramoser (36.19), 2:3 Kovacevic (58.20)
