Series A2: Eppan loses touch - Neumarkt marches on

HC Pergine Solarplus - HC Gherdeina 1:4 (0:1, 0:2, 1:1)

HC Pergine Solarplus: Thomas Commisso (Daniele Facchinetti); Troy Barnes, Per Braxenholm, Lorenzo Casetti, Giulio Bosetti, Alberto Meneghini, Fabio Rigoni; Pontus Morén, Michele Bertoldi, Andrea Bertoldi, Lino De Toni, Andrea Costantino, Davide Mantovani, Stefano Piva, Alessandro Reffo, Alex Tava, Riccardo Tombolato, Alberto Virzi, Andrea Meneghini; Coach: Marco Liberatore

Goals: 0:1 Derek Eastman (5.32), 0:2 Jamie Schaafsma (36.38), 0:3 Fabio Kostner (39.54) 1:3 Alberto Virzi (44.52), 1:4 Kevin Senoner (51.07)

In the early game of the 28th round of the championship, HC Gherdeina remained unbeaten in the fourth duel against Pergine. In the Ladin game, the failures of Spinell, Mascarin and Gabriel Vinatzer were never really apparent, especially since the opponent from Trentino had to use four players with Jackson (superfluous transfer card player), Accarino, Fontanive and De Polo. Eastman gave the guests from South Tyrol an early lead with his 15th goal of the season. Pergine then pushed for an equalizer, but his efforts were in vain as Val Gardena pulled ahead 3-0 in the middle section thanks to Schaafsma (in the majority) and Fabio Kostner. Virzi's Pergine goal at the beginning of the final third caused tension to build again - until Kevin Senoner made the final score 51.07-4 after 1 minutes.

HC Neumarkt Riwega – SV Kaltern Rothoblaas 5:3 (1:2, 3:0, 1:1)

Neumarkt Riwega: Martin Rizzi (Hannes Pichler); Steve Pellettier, Eric Werner, Manuel Bertignoll, Daniele Delladio, Alexander Sullmann, Kevin Zucal; Simone Donati, Markus Simonazzi, David Stricker, Flavio Faggioni, Michele Ciresa, Matteo Peiti, Federico Gilmozzi, Hannes Walther, Michael Sulmmann, Dominik Massar, Urban Giovannelli; Coach: Rob Wilson

Kaltern Rothoblaas: Philipp Kosta (Massimo Camin); Donald Nichols, Ladislav Benysek; Leonhard Rainer, Markus Siller, Danny Elliscassis, Lukas Schweigkofler; Armin Ambach, Raphael Andergassen, Antti Hilden, Alex Frei, Braian Belcastro, Manuel Gamper, Michael Felderer, Alex Obermair, Benno Obermair; Coach: Cory Laylin

Goals: 0:1 Manuel Gamper (10.39), 1:1 Simone Donati (12.40), 1:2 Alex Frei (19.47), 2:2 Federico Gilmozzi (20.40), 3:2 Michele Ciresa (28.31), 4:2 Steve Pellettier (34.39), 5:2 Matteo Peiti (48.05), 5:3 Michael Felderer (59.45)

Leaders Neumarkt competed on Wednesday without Perna and Zambaldi against the weak team from Kaltern. The “Hechten” were missing the suspended Waldthaler and Alex Andergassen, as well as the injured Oberrauch, Giovannini and Gius. At the beginning of the first third, Neumarkt lived up to his role as favorite and once again appeared dangerously in front of the opponent's goal, but the first goal of the game came on the opposite side: Manuel Gamper scored in the 11th minute to make it 1-0 for Kaltern. The home team managed to equalize immediately through Simone Donati, but Alex Frei put the Überetscher in the lead again in the first third. In the second third, Neumarkt - as so often this season - turned the tables and gave the decisive change of direction with goals from Gilmozzi, Ciresa and Pellettier. The “Wild Geese” left nothing to be desired in the final third. Peiti even extended the lead to 5:2. The Kalterer Felderer set the final point with 3:5.

HC Meran Nils - EV Bozen 84 Mirò Dental 6:2 (1:2, 2:0, 3:0)

Meran Nils: Charles Corsi (Julian Cimini); Victor Wallin, Jan Mair, Tommi Leinonen, Andreas Huber, Daniel Valgoi, Philipp Beber; Massimo Ansoldi, Julian Schwienbacher, Daniel Rizzi, Stefan Palla, Michael Stocker, Oliver Schenk, Gunnar Braito, Patrick Cainelli, Thomas Mitterer, Stefan Kobler, Davide Turrin, Alex Lanz, Daniel Erlacher; Coach: Doug McKay

EV Bozen Mirò Dental: Martino Valle Da Rin (Martin Profanter); Stanislav Jasecko, Roland Battisti, Manuel Basso, Matthias Albarello, Daniele Da Ponte, Andrea Gorza, Matteo Lotti, Alex Quirini; Richard Sechny, Tuomo Harjula, Martin Pircher, Michele Stevan, Christian Pircher, Hannes Hölzl, Thomas Unterfrauner, Philipp Grandi, Andre Rolfini, Simon Obexer, Paolo Widmann; Coach: Max Fedrizzi

Goals: 0:1 Tuomo Harjula (14.27), 1:1 Daniel Erlacher (16.43), 1:2 Stanislav Jasecko (17.49), 2:2 Massimo Ansoldi (26.38), 3:2 Tommi Leinonen (34.10), 4:2 Tommi Leinonen (54.11), 5:2 Gunnar Braito (55.00), 6:2 Oliver Schenk (55.53)

HC Meran, which had the best line-up, had to play against EV Bozen to score three important points in the fight for play-off participation. But there was no sign of a class difference with the bottom of the table, where Plankl, Pancheri and Malfertheiner were also missing. The EVB took the lead through Tuomo Harjula and didn't let themselves be disturbed by Daniel Erlachern's equalizer. In return, Stanislav Jasecko literally made it 2-1 for the Talferstadt team. In the middle section, Meran took advantage of two numerical advantage situations to take the lead for the first time through Ansoldi and Leinonen (his first Serie A2 goal). EV Bozen was punished coldly for its indiscipline. But that wasn't enough: In the final phase of the encounter it was once again the Scandinavian newcomer Leinonen who showed no quarter in the power play and defeated goalkeeper Valle Da Rin for the fourth time. Braito and Schenk then increased the score to 6:2.

Hockey Milano Rossoblù – HC Eppan Sparer Scaffolds 5:1 (2:0, 0:0, 3:1)

HC Milano Rossoblù: Pasquale Terrazzano (Paolo Della Bella); Ryan Constant, Andreas Lutz, Alessandro Re, Federico Betti, Peter Stimpfl, Francesco Borghi; Luca Ansoldi, Peter Klouda, Tommaso Migliore, Manuel Lo Presti, Peter Wunderer, Daniel Peruzzo, Mirko Migliavacca, Michael Mazzacane, Marcello Borghi, Nicolò Lo Russo, Stefano Gherardi; Coach: Massimo Da Rin

Eppan Sparer scaffolding: Mark Demetz (Alex Tomasi); David Ceresa, Jonathan Coleman, David Gorfer, Johannes Weger, Christian Tröger; Peter Campbell, Jan Waldner, Lukas Martini, Lorenz Röggl, Tobias Ebner, Stefan Unterkofler, Philipp Platter, Hannes Hofer, Alex Rottensteiner, Robert Raffeiner, Philipp Jaitner, Alex Jaitner; Coach: Jarno Mensonen

Goals: 1:0 Peter Klouda (1.19), 2:0 Ryan Constant (19.06), 3:0 Marcello Borghi (45.53), 4:0 Luca Ansoldi (46.35), 5:0 Tommaso Migliore (50.16), 5:1 Johannes Weger (55.54)

The Kufencracks from Milan have consolidated second place in the table with a victory in the pursuit duel against Eppan. The Lombards were able to rely on the recovered Re in the Agorà Stadium at home, but Pikkarainen, Caletti and Latin were again missing, while the Überetscher had to give up Eisenstecken, Fabian Ebner and, above all, top performer Loikas. Milan had control from the start and opened the scoring after 79 seconds through Klouda. The Eppan team had their nerves under control several times and offered their opponents four power-number situations in a row, the last of which was finally converted into a 2-0 by Constant. The second third was characterized by hectic play on both sides, with Eppan unable to take advantage of a long double-numbered situation. After this missed opportunity, the Pirates were unable to recover and went down in the final third. Milan's Borghi, Ansoldi and Migliore made it 5-0 before Weger at least scored Eppan's consolation goal four minutes before the end.
