Wolves without bite: Valpellice against Alleghe in the cup final

HC Pustertal had to make do in the well-filled PalaTazzoli without its regular goalie Jean Sebastien Aubin, as well as the strikers Patrick Bona, Ben Guitè and Benno Obermair. Only Paul Baier was missing from Valpellice. It was the Piedmontese who provided the first highlights. Philipp Kosta was able to fend off Alex Silva's first chance, but after 3.49 minutes the Puster goalkeeper Rob Sirianni had to admit defeat, who was served brilliantly by Slavomir Tomko. A short time later it was the former HCP striker who forced Kosta to do the next brilliant act. A little later, Armin Helfer tested Valpe goalie Parise for the first time. However, his attempt was just a flash in the pan, because it was Sirianni's turn again: after 13.37:2 he increased the lead to 0-XNUMX. Shortly before the first third siren, Cullen missed a top-class chance on the other side.

The second period was just 49 seconds old when Joe Jensen scored the goal with a beautiful diagonal shot and thus fueled the hopes of the yellow-blacks. However, just a few minutes later they suffered another setback when DiCasmirro restored the old two-goal lead with a wrist shot under the crossbar. Valpellice remained in control and pushed for the preliminary decision. This was to happen a little later: Brian Ihnacak made it 5-1 with a brace. First he used a rebound, then he powered his way through the porous HCP defense and scored for the second time. The Wolves showed a defiant reaction and tested Parise's ability to react in the person of Lukas Crepaz.

At the beginning of the final section, Philipp Kosta gave up his place for the regular number three, Hannes Hopfgartner. This would later come to a mini shutout. On the one hand, he himself contributed with two great saves against Ihnacak, and on the other hand, the “home team” also did theirs by shifting down two gears. HC Pustertal tried to get back into the game, but this endeavor was not crowned with luck. The final commotion was caused by a mass brawl after the final siren. Valpellice will face Alleghe in the final on Sunday at 18 p.m. Winning the cup would be an absolute first for both teams.
