The brothers Simon and Andreas Vinatzer were absent from the Gherdeina. The first period the game is absolutely balanced and the two teams face each other. A couple of occasions on each side but it was not a surprise the goal of the Falcons, just at the last second of the game of the first half with the winning deflection of Massimo Zanet in superiority. The beginning of the second period was very interesting. Fassa also hits a post but didn’t find a doubling. During a superiority, the home team suffered two goals within 38 seconds.

Referees: GAMPER, LEGA, Basso, De Zordo. Spectators: 1.000
Milano and Sterzing were at full strength for this third challenge of the season without important absences. From the very first stages of the game the Wipptal Broncos proved to be very incisive in front of the net. After 4 minutes, the guest line-up took the lead with Matthias Mantinger who, from a close distance, concluded a big scrum in the front of the opposite net. Then the attack of the visitors struck again with a slap shot by Luca Felicetti. But the Broncos team was always very determined and after 14 minutes there was also the 3:0 with a nice combination for the final touch of Tobias Kofler. Milan tried to get back into the game but they found a very determined Gianluca Vallini. In the second half the situation didn’t change. The Wipptal Broncos relied on the veteran Luca Felicetti who in 4 minutes scored two more goals (back shot and intersection shot) for his personal hat-trick. It should be noted that after the fourth goal Milan changed the goalkeeper: Federico Tesini entered and Valle Da Rin left. Milan found the first goal of the evening with a shot from a medium distance of Tanner Burton. But the guest team was always in the lead as they found the 6:1 with Paolo Bustreo at the end of a quick action. In the rest of the second frame there were no other goals. In the third period Milan scored the second goal after 97 seconds with a deflection of Stefan Ilic. In general, the Sterzing just controlled the result as they lowered the pace. The hosts tried to create some opportunities. Gianluca Tilaro halved the disadvantage with a slap shot (48'). But from now on the Broncos didn't give anything anymore and then Brandon Mc Nally set the score for 7:3 in favour of the Broncos with the last goal in the empty net.
