After two recent defeats, Asiago got off to the better start in their home game against Feldkirch. Daniel Mantenuto scored in the eighth minute to take the lead. The hosts had more of the game and added two goals: Jose Magnabosco (12.) and Cameron Ginnetti (19./PP) made it 3:0 - both goals were assisted by Steven Iacobellis, who returned to the line-up after an injury. The tempo slowed down in the middle period and goalies Gianluca Vallini and Alex Caffi excelled. The visitors then cut the deficit in the 30th minute with a powerplay goal from Steven Birnstill. Asiago then took control of the game again and often put Feldkirch under pressure, but only had a few clear scoring chances. In the final period, the hosts failed several times against the excellent Caffi. Four minutes before the end, Trastasenkovs brought the visitors to within one goal, but Asiago managed to hold on for a tight 3:2. The Italians thus also won the second duel of the season with the Vorarlbergers and moved up to fourth place.
