Kazakhstan gets revenge against Italy: 4-2 win in Asiago

Pokel gave Berlin legionnaire Trivellato and Anton Bernard a day of rest in this match. The ailing Armin Helfer also took a break. Andreas Bernard played in goal, his back-up is Gianluca Vallini from Bolzano, who played in the Elite.A with Fassa this year. Pokel lines up Borrelli-Fontanive-Rocco in the first block, Felicetti-Dicasmirro-Kostner in the second, Ramoser-Ihnacak-Insam in the third and Stofner-Tudin-Gander in the fourth. The encounter was much quicker than the day before. Italy used a power play in the 8.39:1 minute and took the lead with a powerful shot from Trevor Johnson. Kazakhstan reacted promptly, but repeatedly failed due to the strong Andreas Bernard. Shortly before the first period break he also had to admit defeat, Alexey Vasilchenko equalized 1-XNUMX.

In the middle third, the Kazakhs decided the match in just 163 seconds. In the 22.51 minute, Maxim Semenov scored, and Romanov immediately made it 3-1 with a wonderful direct shot. Kostner then missed the goal, which finally came a minute before the second period break. After a nice combination between Kostner and DiCasmirro, the puck came to Luca Felicetti, who gave Ivanov no chance and made it 2:3. The Cortina striker's second goal in the second friendly match.

In the final third, Krasnoslobodtsev could have finally closed the bag, but missed the huge chance. On the other hand, Brian Ihnacak and Joachim Ramoser, one of the best players on the ice, failed. After a boxing effort from Talgat and Johnson - both of whom had to take a shower early - Antropov shot the final score 4-2 into the Azzurri's empty goal ten seconds before the end of the game. On Sunday, May 4th, Coach Tom Pokel will announce the Italians' final World Cup squad. Pokel still has to cut five players and will then take 25 with him to the World Cup (22 field players and three goalkeepers).
