HC Neumarkt Riwega: Martin Rizzi (Alex Caffi); Manuel Bertignoll, Christian Rainer, Giulio Bosetti, Kevin Zucal, Piero Simoni; Michael Sullmann, Daniele Delladio, Markus Simonazzi, Rudi Locatin, Davide Stricker, Patrick Zambaldi, Flavio Faggioni, Marian Zelger, Dominik Massar, Hannes Walter, Mike Craig Coach: Joe West

HC Neumarkt dropped three important points in Eppan in the fight for the top of the table. The home team clearly won 5:1. The Pirates were again missing strikers Patrick Wallenberg and Alex Rottensteiner, while the second-place team was again missing Alexander Sullmann, Matteo Peiti and Paolo Bustreo. Newcomer Dylan Stanley was also missing. He will not join his new team until Saturday. The starting third was extremely intense, but real scoring opportunities were rare. In the middle section, Eppan clearly tightened the reins and put Neumarkt under increasing pressure. This was also reflected in the result: Philipp Platter netted for the first time after 24.24:2 minutes. Around ten minutes later, Tuomo Harjula put the Überetscher ahead 0-5. But that wasn't enough, as Platter put his team on the road to victory with his second goal before the second break. Neumarkt was unrecognizable at times and had to accept the fourth goal from Harjula at the beginning of the final third. Once again, only a few minutes passed before Jake Newton made it 0-XNUMX with a double advantage. On the other side, the second-place team only managed a consolation goal from Davide Stricker. This was also the last highlight of the game

WSV Vipiteno Weihenstephan – HC Gherdeina 3:2 (0:1, 0:0, 3:1)

WSV Vipiteno Weihenstephan: Charles Corsi (Dominik Steinmann), Simon Baur, Derek Eastman, Daniel Maffia. Luca Scardoni, Philipp Pircher, Michael Messner; TJ Caig, Tobias Fink, Gunnar Braito, Patrick Mair, Tobias Kofler, Hannes Stofner, Alex Lanz, Florian Wieser, Christian Sottsas, Felix Oberrauch, Tommy Kruselburger, Samuel Rainer Coach: Oly Hicks

HC Gherdeina: Florian Grossgasteiger (Giancarlo Kostner), Benjamin Bregenzer, Ryan Gaucher, Simone Vinatzer, Christian Castlunger, Fabio Kostner, Gabriel Lang, Marco Senoner, Joel Brugnoli, Mitch Stephens, Gabriel Vinatzer, Gabriel Senoner, Kevin Senoner, Ivan Demetz, Rupert Stampfer, Davide Holzknecht, Fabrizio Senoner, Aaron Pitschieler, Coach: Gary Prior

Goals: 0:1 Kevin Senoner (6.46), 1:1 Tobias Kofler (41.36), 2:1 Simon Baur (46.37), 3:1 Florian Wieser (53.31), 3:2 Gabriel Vinatzer (59.11)

Vipiteno took advantage of another slip-up by pursuers Neumarkt to extend their lead in the table with a hard-fought win against Val Gardena. The Wipptalers had to make do without Stefan Ramoser and Tobias Erlacher, but Luca Scardoni returned. Fabio Kostner, however, celebrated his comeback with the Ladin team. He was also in the squad, as was Christian Castlunger from HC Fassa, while Benjamin Kostner had to pass. The outsider from Val Gardena got off to a furious start and took the lead after 6.46 minutes through Kevin Senoner. Vipiteno tried to find a suitable answer, but the visitors' defense withstood the pressure. The Wild Horses also clearly set the tone in the second third, but failed to provide the necessary accent in front of the opponent's goal. This was to change suddenly in the third period of the game when Tobias Kofler broke the spell and Simon Bauer gave the home team the lead for the first time a little later. Now there was real fire in the game. Val Gardena had a hard time recovering and even had to concede the third goal from Florian Wieser after 53.31 minutes. In the last minute of the game, Gabriel Vinatzer reduced the score to 2:3, but it was far too late for the guests to successfully catch up. Vipiteno achieved the hard-fought “threesome” over time.

HC Meran Pircher – Hockey Pergine Sapiens 4:3 (2:0, 0:2, 2:1)

HC Meran Pircher: Vincenzo Marozzi (Samuel Quaglio); Jan Mair, Daniel Valgoi, Philipp Beber, Daniel Huber; Max Ansoldi, Julian Schwienbacher. Michele Ciresa, Taggart Desmet, Thomas Mitterer, Stefan Palla, Stefan Kobler, Daniel Rizzi, Michael Stocker, Michael Guarise, Daniel Frank, Felix Haidacher Coach: Doug McKay

Pergine Sapiens: Daniele Facchinetti (Marcello Platè); Troy Barnes, Fabio Rigoni, Andrea Strazzabosco, Alessandro De Polo; Pontus Moren, Devid Piffer, Alberto Virzi, Riccardo Tombolato, Davide Mantovani, Federico Gilmozzi, Lino De Toni, Marco Demattio, Denny Deanesi, Luca Mattivi, Andrea Meneghini, Stefano Piva, Davide Conci Coach: Marco Liberatore

Goals: 1:0 Philipp Beber (1.38), 2:0 Daniel Frank (15.24), 2:1 Troy Barnes (21.48), 2:2 Troy Barnes (32.09), 3:2 Massimo Ansoldi (43.33), 4:2 Taggart Desmet (48.27), 4:3 Troy Barnes (58.31)

HC Meran achieved a must-win against table latecomers Pergine in front of their home team. The Eagles played without Viktor Wallin (knee problems) and Patrick Cainelli (flu), but with Felix Haidacher from HC Pustertal. The guests featured HC Bozen striker Federico Gilmozzi. Meran got off to a lightning start and was already leading after 1.38:15 minutes thanks to a goal from Philipp Beber. In the 2th minute Daniel Frank was there and increased the score to 0-2. Anyone who thought it would be a relaxing evening for Meran was far wrong, as the Trentino team came back impressively in the second third and equalized to 2-4 thanks to two goals from Troy Barnes. Once again, the Passerstädter resorted to their veterans to turn the game around. It was Massimo Ansoldi and Taggart Desmet who put McKay's team back in front 2-XNUMX in the final period of the game. In the final minutes, Barnes made things even more exciting with his third goal, but Meran ultimately managed to seal their fourth win in a row.

Ev Bozen 84 Groupon – SV Kaltern Rothoblaas 2:5 (0:2, 1:3, 1:0)

Ev Bozen Groupon: Thomas Commisso (Federico Tesini); Luca Franza, Gabriel Nibale, Roland Battisti, Christian Fabbretti, Simon Obexer; Thomas Unterfrauner, Philipp Grandi, Daniele Da Ponte, Hannes Hölzl, Franz Josef Plankl, Alexander Pancheri, Matteo Lotti, Lorenzo Piccinelli, Paolo Widmann, Christian Timpone, Michele Volcan, Coach: Fred Carroll

SV Kaltern Rothoblaas: Martino Valle Da Rin (Daniel Morandell); Adrian Marzoner, Lukas Schweigkofler, Markus Kofler, Daniel Spinell, Alex Giovannini, Markus Siller, Steve Pelletier, Leonhard Rainer; Matias Loppi, Patrick Thomaser, Brian Belcastro, Raphael Andergassen, Alex Andergassen, Patrick Gius, Thomas Pichler, Lorenz Röggl, Michael Felderer, Manuel Gamper, Alex Tauferer, Hannes Clementi Coach: Thomas Sandlin

Goals: 0:1 Matias Loppi (16.21), 0:2 Lorenz Röggl (18.10), 0:3 Steve Pelletier (22.51), 0:4 Matias Loppi (24.35), 0:5 Lorenz Röggl (30.45), 1:5 Hannes Hölzl (33.50), 2:5 Franz Josef Plankl (48.43),

EV Bozen had a difficult time against Kaltern from the start and ultimately had to admit defeat. The bottom team had to make do without their two transferred transfer card players Stanislav Jasecko and Dylan Stanley, but captain Roland Battisti was fit to play again. For the Hechte, who initially had four lines, Daniel Spinell was available again, Thomas Waldthaler had to continue passing. The initial phase was extremely poor, but as the encounter progressed the guests gained the upper hand and found their first big chance with Thomas Pichler. Towards the end of the first third, Matias Loppi took advantage of a remarkable pass from Steve Pellettier to make it 1-0, and two minutes later Lorenz Röggl gave EVB goalie Thomas Commisso the edge for the second time. Kaltern remained in control after the first break and further extended their lead with goals from Pelletier, Loppi and Röggl. At times the visitors' offense played as if it were all of a piece. Only a power play allowed EV Bozen to score. After 33.50, Hannes Hölzl used a deflected Timpone shot to make it 1:5. Not much happened in the last third. Apart from the home team's second goal. Franz Josef Plankl took advantage of a lack of attention from the Kalter defense to make the final score 2:5.
