Italian Cup: Ritten's final dream has shattered

Alleghe was able to go into the opening match without any injury worries. The situation was completely different for the “Rittner Buam”, who not only had to make do without the injured Ryan Ramsay, Alex Frei and Alexander Eisath, but also without Chris Durno, who stayed with his heavily pregnant wife in South Tyrol. Dan Tudin, who was weakened by the flu, was able to play. Together with TJ Kemp and Domenico Perna, he formed the first attack line. The South Tyroleans found their way into the game better and set the tone from the start. However, Alleghe initially had the better chances. The biggest one came from Daniele Veggiato, who was unable to decisively deflect a shot from Nicholas Kuiper. After 18.46 minutes, Dan Tudin broke the spell by completing a quick counterattack via Kemp and Mitchell with a precise shot into the goal.

The encounter was also at a very high level in the middle section. Alleghe missed the equalizer with Vince Rocco, but in return a shot from Perna hit the outside post. But the main actor remained Tudin, who led in an exemplary manner and caused excitement with two good chances. But the Bellunese didn't hold back either and failed several times due to the brilliant Justin Pogge. Shortly before the second break, the Rittner goalie also got in the way of Gino Guyer, who was running alone towards the opponent's goal.

In the final third, Alleghe threw everything into the balance and laid siege to the opponent's goal. First Veggiato failed from close range, then the strong Gino Guyer found his master in Pogge. However, he had to admit defeat after 48.28 minutes when Vince Rocco netted with an unstoppable diagonal shot. The draw didn't last long, however, because Lorenz Daccordo immediately initiated a counterattack and fed Greg Jacina, who scored with a deflected shot to make it 2-1. Shortly afterwards, Thomas Spinell even had the preliminary decision on his bat, but Adam Dennis was at the post. When everything was already pointing to Rittner reaching the final and Alleghe had long since taken the goalkeeper off the ice, the red-whites managed to equalize: Pogge had to let a Johansson ball rebound and Nicola Fontanive forced overtime seven seconds before the end. Much to the delight of the around 100 Alleghe fans who traveled along.

Ritten seemed visibly shocked and the disaster began: extra time was just one minute and 31 seconds old when Veggiato directed a failed long-range shot from Francesco De Biasio into the goal and sealed Rittner's semi-final exit.
