Best defeat of the year: Ritten is Italian champion

Rittner's fifth Italian championship title in history has been secured. But it came about in a strange way: on Saturday the Buam kept it Final first leg still had the upper hand against Asiago with 4:3, on Sunday there was a 2:6 defeat after regular time in the second leg in front of the home crowd. Because the goal difference has no meaning in the final series and both Ritten and Asiago each had one win, there was an all-important extra time. And here Rittens Sislannikovs scored the goal after 17 minutes to make it 3:6, which led to the “sudden death” of Asiago and gave the Buam the title.

Target shooting in Klobenstein Asiago started the second leg of the final like a fire department and took the lead with Mark Naclerio after just 5.11:1 minutes. Less than three minutes later, the home team equalized: After a pass from Stefan Quinz, it was Markus Spinell who stayed cool in front of Frederic Cloutier and scored to make it 1-22. The “Buam”'s joy only lasted for a short time, as 2 seconds later Anthony Bardaro scored to make it 1-XNUMX. It stayed that way until halftime.

35 seconds after the restart, the guests from Veneto cheered again. Matteo Tessari switched the fastest and increased to 3:1. The “Stellati”’s double lead was deserved at this point. In the 33rd minute, Thomas Spinell decisively deflected a shot from Olegs Sislannikovs, but the referees canceled the goal due to a high stick. Less than two minutes later everything was correct: Sislannikovs served captain Dan Tudin with a wonderful backhand pass, which went in front of Cloutier to make it 2-3. On the other side, double goalscorer Bardaro deflected a shot from Alexander Gellert to make it 4-2. Afterwards, Ritten was unlucky with two hits on the crossbar.

In the last part of the game, Asiago added two more goals: 12 minutes before the final siren, Jose Magnabosco danced past half of Rittner's defense and made it 5:2, shortly afterwards Marco Rosa made up the half dozen in the majority. Then nothing more happened until the 60th minute. Sislannikovs makes Ritten cheer In an extra time that could hardly be surpassed in terms of tension, Asiago's Mark Naclerio and Rosa failed several times due to the strong tragus. In the 77.06 minute there was no stopping the Arena Ritten. Olegs Sislannikovs grabbed the disc and hammered it into the left corner of the cross. Cloutier and his front men were defeated, while the Latvian Sislannikovs secured the Knights' fourth “Scudetto” in a row.
