Then they stopped Rittner Buam The scepter was firmly in his hand and Cortina hardly had any chances. The only 400 spectators had to wait until the 37th minute for the next goal, when Jan Waldner finally increased the score to 2-0. That was also the final score in a one-sided encounter that was uneventful at times. Even in the final third, Cortina ran in vain against the Ritten defensive bulwark.

The fans in the Pranives Stadium were treated to a completely even game, but one that was too tough for long stretches. Benjamin Kostner took advantage of a power play to score the lead in the fifth minute HC Gherdeina , but shortly before half-time John Lazo made it 1-1. The Broncos had now really tasted blood and took the lead after the restart with a goal from Jason Walters. Ivan Demetz equalized again almost immediately. Four minutes before the end, Luke Moffatt was there: He brought the “Furie” into the front with double the advantage. Sterzing, however, didn't give up and equalized a minute and a half before the end. It was Lazo who sent both teams into overtime with his second goal. However, the decision should be made in a penalty shootout. Rupert Stampfer showed no nerves there and secured the two points for the Broncos.
