Italy celebrates successful dress rehearsal

With Diego Kostner joining the team this week, the Azzurri met second time during the preparation for the British. They are also contesting the World Cup in Finland, but will not meet Italy there. Ex-HCP crack Brett Perlini & Co. open their program on Saturday against the Czech Republic. So both teams wanted to get a good feeling in Coventry on Tuesday. Italy managed this perfectly, the score was 3-0 in the end.

In the Skydome in Coventry it took just 56 seconds before it hit the home side's goal for the first time: Alex Petan finished on the power play from the right position and gave Ben Bowns the last with a pinpoint finish. Emotions then ran high and players from both teams went to the penalty box. However, no further goals were scored in the first third. Berger increased In the second section, the spectators also experienced a game at eye level. However, Italy was happy again about the next goal. After Jackson Whistle, who came on for Bowns, fended off shots from Gregorio Gios and Tommaso Traversa, Simon Berger was in the right place and pushed the puck over the line to make it 2-0. A minute before the end of the middle third, Andreas Bernard was lucky when Ben Lake hit the edge of the goal - 2-0 after 40 minutes.

Although Italy continued to concede many penalties in the final period, the home team was unable to halve the deficit. Instead, the Azzurri made everything clear when they were outnumbered: When Brandon McNally was in the penalty box, Daniel Mantenuto remained ice cold when he went solo. The decision was made by 3-0. Italy cheered, Great Britain quarreled. The World Cup can come. Test match: Great Britain – Italy 0:3 Gates: 0:1 Petan (00.56), 0:2 Berger (34.04), 0:3 Mantenuto (52.44)
