After a spectacular finish: Ritten defeated Val Gardena 5:4

138 seconds before the final siren, Ritten was still behind 3:4, but turned the game around in 54 seconds and ultimately won 5:4. With this last-minute win, Ritten extends its lead in the table over pursuers Pustertal to 12 points, but the “Wolves” have to catch up on two games.

The Buam got off to a dream start on Thursday evening. Only 20 seconds had been played when Simon Kostner shot the home team into a 1-0 lead after a pass from the Ahlström twins. In the 13.41 minute, the 26-year-old from Ortisei increased the lead to 2-0 with the advantage (Fabrizio Senoner was in the penalty box). Two minutes before the first third break, Val Gardena scored 1-2 through Josef Strakader.

In the middle third, Val Gardena acted more offensively and turned the game around in just three minutes. First, Benjamin Kostner scored in the power play (Max Ploner had to go into the cooler) to equalize 2-2, then Ivan Demetz, with one more man on the ice, gave the second-to-last team the lead for the first time. This goal shook the “Buam” awake and just six minutes later Alex Frei scored to make the score 3-3. This close result remained until the 40th minute.

Val Gardena senses the sensation The final third was also very balanced and the tension was hard to beat. But again it was the Ladins who could cheer. Benjamin Kostner made it 4:3 in the majority. Ritten now threw everything forward, but was repeatedly denied by Gianluca Vallini. Two minutes before the end of the game, Simon Kostner equalized 4:4 with his third goal this evening. But that wasn't enough, because just 51 seconds later Fabian Ebner scored the 5-4 winning goal.
