Rittner Buam answered with Overtime-home-win

In the second final game, the formations remained the same. Andreas Alber and Markus Spinell were absent for Rittner Buam while Matteo Tessari was not again in the guest formation. The approach of the game was different from the home team, compared to the first match, with more actions in attack and more concentration in defence. Frederic Cloutier was very active but also the yellowread team grew minute after minute. After he middle, the Venetian team put a lot of pressure on the defense of Collalbo's team. The game was very open but the first penalty of the match was already important in the economy of the match. Christian Borgatello served a good pass to Thomas Spinell that made the advantage of the hosts (16.). Another penalty against Asiago but the first half ended with the Ritten ahead for 1: 0. During the second half the Rittner Buam doubled after two minutes. Alex Frei collected a puck in the opposing defence as he exceeded Cloutier. On 2:0 the Ritten insisted but didn’t find the knockout. The Asiago, after half the game, was reorganized: Alex Gellert and Josè Magnabosco were dangerous. But it was a powerplay that brought back the visitors: Nigro served Anthony Bardaro, the MVP of the Alps Hockey League, who put the puck under the crossbar (32). In the third time the Klobstein’s team tried to close the accounts but couldn’t. Asiago suffered but resisted. Indeed, with the passing of the minutes they believed as they continued to play. After a powerplay in favour of the guests, the game arrived at the final stages of the third half. Nigro scored a draw with a shot at the crossbar with the extra attacker when there was only 40 seconds left on the third whistle. At overtime Traversa was dangerous but was stopped with penalty by Miglioranzi. In powerplay Oscar Ahlstrom scored the goal game that allowed the Renon to equalize the series (63.). The goal of Renon's victory was hardly contested by the visitor formation.
