Ritten's title defense is becoming a long way off

In the packed Odegar Stadium (3.200 spectators), both teams relied on exactly the same formations that already faced each other on Thursday in Klobenstein. However, Asiago got off to a much better start: after just one minute, Weinhandl had to reach behind him for the first time when Borrelli shot. The Buam only slowly woke up from their lethargy and tried to build up the game in an orderly manner. In the 16th minute, the visitors' defense left Ulmer completely unattended, allowing Asiago to make it 2-0. The extremely dangerous striker didn't have to be asked twice after a pass from Miglioranzi. Ritten then showed a little improvement and pushed for the goal with a Borgetallo shot. However, Marozzi could not be overcome.

The fatal second third

At the beginning of the second period, the Asiago goalie had to admit defeat when Felicetti caused tension with a power play goal. However, this didn't last long, because instead of the hoped-for equalizer, Weinhandl's goal rang - and twice. Benetti scored in the 23rd minute to make it 3-1. Just 32 seconds later, De Vergilio increased the score to 4-1. Ritten completely disappeared from the scene during this phase, also because Asiago worked extremely efficiently and hardly allowed any space in front of their own goal.

There is no reaction from Rittner

In the final section marked by countless penalty minutes, Asiago completed its program confidently, although Ritten certainly found opportunities to at least keep the hope of a victory alive. However, Marozzi didn't let anything go wrong. In the last minute of the game, Ulmer made the final score 5-1 with an empty net goal.

Ritten's title defense is becoming a long way off

Asiago retained the upper hand 5-1 in the fifth final game and thus earned its first puck of the match. There is a lot of room for improvement at the Rittner Buam before perhaps the last match on Easter Monday in Klobenstein.
