Salzburg's Champions League dream is over

The third-placed team in the ICE Hockey League suffered a 1:5 defeat at defending champion Rögle BK and, after the surprising 3:1 home win in the first leg, lost 4:6 overall. An Austrian was still able to celebrate in the Catena Arena in Ängelholm, and national player Marco Kasper was also included in the shooting list wearing the Swedes' uniform. The Swedes tried to show a reaction from the start. After a nice combination, Ludvig Larsson hit the top corner after just 2:27 minutes. Salzburg then recovered and managed to keep the opponent busy again and again. But mainly defensive work was required and that was ensured by consistent duels and a strong goalie Atte Tolvanen, who reacted brilliantly shortly before the end of the first third and ensured that no further goals were conceded. Salzburg is against it That changed immediately after the restart, when the Bulls were still outnumbered and Adam Tambellini was successful after 19 seconds. The home team took the offensive momentum with them and found chance after chance and comfortably extended their lead. After a two-on-one counterattack, Oliver Tärnström (25th) finished in an exemplary manner, and four minutes later it was Kasper who scored from close range. The 18-year-old striker was drafted by the NHL club Detroit Red Wings in July and will receive the necessary fine-tuning from Rögle before moving to North America. He now has four goals and five assists in the current CHL season. Salzburg was on the ropes, but came back again. The Swedes, who were weak in the national league, did not consistently finish their own attack and after a counterattack it was Thomas Raffl (39th) who hit the corner powerfully after preparatory work by Peter Schneider. As a result, only one goal was missing in the final period before extra time. But the Swedes quickly threw a spanner in the works, with Larsson completing his brace after 3:12 minutes. As a result, Salzburg held strong against it and were able to survive a 3:5 outnumbered situation. But a second goal was not in the air.
