Huge surprise in the Weihenstephan Arena in Sterzing, where EV Bozen celebrated a 4:3 win. It was the third victory en suite for the Talferstadt team, who have now got a taste for winning after five defeats in a row. The Wipptalers again had to give up defender Luca Scardoni, while EV's Christian Timpone was still missing due to a hand injury. The match started palely with a period of pressure from the home team, but the people of Bolzano took the lead: Stanislav Jasecko scored 1-0 in the majority. Vipiteno didn't give up despite conceding a goal, but Platè was at his post. It wasn't until the 17th minute of the game that Gunnar Braito - also with one more man on the ice - was able to defeat him. In the second half of the game, the guests pulled away again with a 2-1 win from Hannes Hölzl, who easily used an exemplary assist from Franz Josef Plankl. The Wipptalers reacted in the right way again and equalized with Patrick Mair. But Dylan Stanley gave the Talferstädters the lead for the third time that evening. At this point, Simon Baur was sitting in the cooler. Bolzano then defended cleverly. And in the third period? First TJ Caig scored the equalizer for the home team for the third time (52.24), but just under three and a half minutes later Oliver Schenk managed to take the lead again for the fourth time. And this time the score remained the same until the final siren, which gave the people of Bolzano this surprising away win at the Broncos.

HC Eppan Sarah – Pergine Solarplus not played

HC Eppan Sarah: Mark Demetz (Alex Tomasi), David Ceresa, Fabian Ebner, Matthias Eisenstecken, Lukas Martini, Jake Newton, Peter Stimpfl, Johannes Weger; Patrick Wallenberg, Tobias Ebner, Alex Jaitner, Philipp Jaitner, Daniel Peruzzo, Philipp Platter, Stefan Unterkofler, Alex Rottensteiner, Jan Waldner, Tobias Spitaler Coach: Jarno Mensonen

Pergine Solarplus: Daniele Facchinetti, Danny Deanesi, Alberto Meneghini, Alex Pintarelli, Alessandro Ambrosi, Alberto Virzi Coach: Marco Liberatore

The match between the “Pirates” and Pergine Solarplus could not be played. The guests arrived with just six players (including goalkeeper Daniele Facchinetti). The regulations stipulate that at least seven players and two goalkeepers must be noted on the score sheet so that the referee can whistle a game. That wasn't the case, which is why the trio of referees sent the team back to the dressing rooms. Pergine coach Marco Liberatore would like Trentino entrepreneurs to help the crisis-hit club financially: “The situation is serious. I hope that the economy in Trentino can help us so that we can start again.”

HC Neumarkt Riwega - HC Gherdeina 2:1 nV (0:1, 0:0, 1:0, 1:0)

HC Neumarkt Riwega: Martin Rizzi (Alex Caffi); Kevin Zucal, Manuel Bertignoll, Giulio Bosetti, Christian Rainer, Brent Patry, Alexander Sullmann; Nick Bonino, Michael Sullmann, Daniele Delladio, Urban Giovanelli, Markus Simonazzi, Matteo Peiti, Rudi Locatin, David Stricker, Flavio Faggioni, Hannes Walter, Marian Zelger, Patrick Zambaldi, Dominik Massar, Alex Tiziani Coach: Joseph West

HC Gherdeina: Florian Grossgasteiger (Giancarlo Kostner), Benjamin Bregenzer, Ryan Gaucher, Gabriel Lang, Simon Vinatzer, Luca Vinatzer; Joel Brugnoli, Niklas Anger, Fabian Costa, Rupert Stampfer, Gabriel Vinatzer, Oliver Schenk, Ivan Demetz, Kevin Senoner, Benjamin Kostner, Fabio Kostner, Davide Holzknecht, Aaron Pitschieler, Gabriel Senoner Coach: Thomas Kostner

Gates: 0:1 Joel Brugnoli (19.05), 1:1 Matteo Peiti (48.46), 2:1 Brent Patry (62.00)

Val Gardena was still missing captain Fabrizio Senoner, while attacker Marco Senoner returned to the team. Neumarkt, led by NHL star Nick Bonino, was able to play in full, only the long-term injured Paolo Bustreo was not there. The game wasn't exactly what you would call a cracker in the early stages. The Ladins cleverly eliminated Bonino and took the lead 55 seconds before the siren. Joel Brugnoli gave Martin Rizzi the loss in the packed Würth Arena. Neumarkt also tried to take over the game in the second third, but Kostner's team stood very cleverly and allowed next to nothing. After another break, the fans in the sold-out Würth Arena were able to cheer when Matteo Peiti equalized after 48.46 minutes. Until then, Grossgasteiner had maintained the leadership of the Val Gardena with several great deeds. It remained 1-1 until the final siren - so it went into extra time. Exactly 120 seconds had been played there when Nick Bonino passed the puck to Brent Patry, who netted a 2-1 win for the Unterlanders and the Neumarktners' home stadium was a madhouse as a result.

HC Meran Junior- SV Kaltern Rothoblaas 2:3 nP (1:1, 0:0, 1:1, 0:0, 0:1)

HC Meran Junior: Vincenzo Marozzi (Massimo Quagliato), Jan Mair, Daniel Valgoi, Viktor Wallin, Andreas Radin; Taggart Desmet, Michele Ciresa, Thomas Mitterer, Julian Schwienbacher, Stefan Palla, Daniel Rizzi. Michele Ciresa, Riccardo Tombolato, Davide Turrin, Patrick Cainelli, Viktor Schweitzer, Michael Guarise, Philipp Beber, Stefan Kobler Coach: Doug McKay

SV Kaltern Rothoblaas: Martino Valle da Rin (Daniel Morandell), Thomas Waldthaler, Adrian Marzoner, Lukas Schweigkofler, Daniel Spinell, Steve Pelletier, Markus Siller, Markus Kofler; Matias Loppi, Raphael Andergassen, Alexander Andergassen, Alex Tauferer, Patrick Thomaser, Patrick Gius, Brian Belcastro, Lorenz Röggl, Michael Felderer, Manuel Gamper, Mirko Quinz Coach: Thomas Sandlin

Gates: 0:1 Mathias Loppi (0.44), 1:1 Taggart Desmet (16.25 penalty), 2:1 Thomas Mitterer (50.01), 2:2 Steve Pelletier (55.51); 2:3 decisive penalty: Raphael Andergassen

Former Pergine striker Michele Ciresa made his home debut at Merano, while Michael Stocker and Massimo Ansoldi were missing due to injuries. Kaltern, on the other hand, was able to compete fully because Mirco Quinz, who had been injured until then, returned to the team. However, Thomas Spinell was injured during the warm-up and so coach Thomas Sandlin had to do without the defender. Kaltern started like the fire department. The minute hand had not yet made a full circle on the stadium clock face after the first face-off when Mathias Loppi gave the Hechte the lead after an assist from Alexander Andergassen. Meran reacted and equalized in the 17th minute. After a foul on Taggart Desmet, the referees decided on a penalty, which Desmet coldly converted for the Mc-Kay team. Nothing changed in the result in the second third. Both teams tried hard, but the goalies destroyed every chance, no matter how good. In the final period of the game, Meran increased to 50.01-2 with Thomas Mitterer after 1 minutes, but Kaltern managed to equalize in the 56th minute. Because no further goals were scored in regular time, the game went into extra time. There was no goal there either, so it went to a shootout, where Kaltern's Raphael Andergassen sank the decisive penalty.
