World Cup: Denmark shows no mercy to Italy

Coach Tom Pokel relied on tried and tested methods on Tuesday and sent Patrick Bona and Anton Bernard to the stands for the third time in a row. Italy got off to a strong start and narrowly missed taking the lead when former Alleghe player Vincent Rocco hit the puck against the post. However, the Danes immediately had an answer ready and took the lead for the first time after 2.51:1 minutes: After Thomas Larkin carelessly allowed the hard rubber disc to be stolen, Jesper Jensen scored from a commotion in front of the Italian goal to make it 0-1. The “Azzurri” didn’t give up so quickly and equalized to 1-XNUMX almost ten minutes later. Scandella circled the goal and fed Diego Kostner, who was initially denied by goalkeeper Nielsen. The situation wasn't over yet, however, when Scandella tried another pass to Kostner, who didn't allow himself to be asked again and hit the mark with a backhand shot.

Italy is punished coldly At the beginning of the middle period, Italy's first line put up a nice relay of pucks, but Scandella was unfortunate in finishing it. The Blue Team was now pushing for the opening goal. However, the Danes should succeed in this. They punished DiCasmirro and Co.'s careless use of chances with a power play goal from Jannik Hansen. Trevo Johnson had previously made a mistake in building up the game. But that wasn't enough, because just half a minute later Scandella misdirected a Christensen shot into his own net - 3-1 for Denmark.

In the final third, Italy threw everything forward again, but the opposing defenses could no longer be overcome. When Bellissimo gave up his place in goal for a sixth field player, Staal scored to make the final score 4-1. Now it will be a long, rocky road for Italy to stay in the league.
