Cortina equalizes the finals

Already after six minutes Gregory Di Tomaso put the home side in the lead. After that, nothing happened for a long time, and it was only in minute 50 that Jesenice goalkeeper Antti Karjalainen was beaten again, after Michael Zanatta made it 2:0 after an assist by Riccardo Lacedelli. This time, however, the visitors had the right answer and reduced the score to 1:2 through Zan Jezovsek less than a minute later. Jesenice then tried everything again, but when Nik Sivornik had to go to the penalty box with less than three minutes to go and Cortina thus had an powerplay situation, they were also able to score the decision. Mikael Saha took advantage of the powerplay 127 seconds before the end of the third period and made it 3:1. After that Jesenice also had a powerplay, took goalie Karjalainen off the ice and had a six on four situation. Six seconds before the end of the game, Saha got to the puck again, made his brace perfect and made the final score 4:1. The final series will continue in Jesenice on Thursday at 20:00.
