Serie A2: Milan grabs it and is the first finalist

(1) HC Neumarkt Riwega – (4) HC Gherdeina 1:3 (0:0, 0:2, 1:1) HC Neumarkt Riwega: Martin Rizzi (Hannes Pichler); Steve Pellettier, Turo Virta, Eric Werner, Manuel Bertignoll, Daniele Delladio, Alexander Sullmann, Kevin Zucal; Markus Simonazzi, David Stricker, Simone Donati, Flavio Faggioni, Michele Ciresa, Matteo Peiti, Federico Gilmozzi, Patrick Zambaldi, Hannes Walter, Michael Sulmmann, Urban Giovannelli; Coach: Rob Wilson

HC Gherdeina: Florian Grossgasteiger (Benjamin Saurer); Derek Eastman, Fabrizio Senoner, Mikeol Moroder, Daniel Spinell, Marco Senoner, Davide Caprioli, Gabriel Lang; Jamie Schaafsma, Patrick Wallenberg, Julian Mascarin, Rupert Stampfer, Kevin Senoner, Ivan Demetz, Benjamin Kostner, Andreas Wanker, Joel Brugnoli, Fabio Kostner, Gabriel Vinatzer, Luca Vinatzer, Davide Holzknecht; Coach: Erwin Kostner

Gates: 0:1 Derek Eastman (21.38), 0:2 Patrick Wallenberg (33.01), 1:2 David Stricker (42.46), 1:3 Rupert Stampfer (50.13)

The hosts will once again be without their goal scorer Domenic Perna, who has groin problems. Simone Donati returned to the team after a two-game suspension. On the other hand, Patrick Wallenberg returned to the Val Gardena team, while Kevin Senoner was suspended for two match days. After a few minutes in the first third, the spectators in the Würth Arena saw Gabriel Lang's shot on the post in the majority. Afterwards, the Unterlanders played with double the advantage, but instead of scoring a goal, the Wildgänse almost got a counterattack. Jamie Schaafsma could only be stopped by Eric Werner with a foul. After that, Wilson's team stayed on the trigger, but the Unterlanders didn't manage to score. After the break, the Ladin team came out of the locker room stronger. Only 98 seconds had been played when Derek Eastman made it 1-0 with his fourth play-off goal. After 25.17 minutes, the guests equalized through Hannes Walter, but the goal was canceled because the referees had already blown the whistle. And so after 33.01 minutes, the guests increased the lead to 2-0 with Wallenberg, who were denied the third goal by two crossbar hits by Wallenberg and Schaafsma. When Stricker reduced the score to 1:2 in the third period, hope arose again at HC Neumarkt. Hope, which Rupert Stampfer nipped in the bud with the 3-1 win after 50.13 minutes. Val Gardena can make everything clear on Wednesday at the Pranives Stadium.

The Lombards only had to give up the suspended Alessandro Re, while David Ceresa and Alex Rottensteiner were missing from Eppan for the same reason. The Pirates also had to do without Matthias Eisenstecken and Tobias Ebner. After an initial fumble, the home side took the lead 1-0 through Manuel Lo Presti (11.37). 26 seconds had been played after the break when Campbell equalized. Daniel Peruzzo ensured that the Milanese were able to celebrate for the second time of the evening in the 27th minute, but Campbell leveled things up again after a little less than half an hour with his 47th goal of the season. The stalemate lasted until the 55th minute of the game. Then Kimmo Pikkarainen, who had already decided the third game in favor of the Lombards, set the course for victory. In the majority, he lost out to Mark Demetz, to the delight of the frenetically celebrating home crowd. Afterwards, Eppan tried everything to turn the result on its head again. But in vain, because Milan made it to the final.
