A knockout in the last test, staged in Vienna against the hosts of Austria.
The Italian national ice hockey team gives 4-1 to the red and white in the friendly that precedes the trip to Riga, where from Thursday 26 to Sunday 29 August, the Azzurri will be involved in the Olympic qualification tournament, against Latvia, France and Hungary. thinking of Beijing 2022. A result too broad for what we saw on the track where, especially in a 5 vs 5 situation, Italy played better than their opponents for long stretches of the match.
Coach Greg Ireland renounces Andergassen, the captain's "C" is on Daniel Frank's chest, and the start of the Azzurri is more than promising. In fact, Alex Petan takes less than 5 minutes to unlock the result: a well-deserved advantage for a more active and proactive national team, which however complicates life a little later. Frigo is sent to the penalty bench for 5 '', and the long numerical superiority is concretized by the very young Austrian talent Marco Rossi who stabs Bernard. With the passing of the minutes, the Azzurri raise their heads and create more of a headache for the defense of the hosts, especially taking advantage of a series of quick restarts.
To report a goal rightly canceled against Austria (the goal was from Zuendel) for previous interference against the blue goalkeeper. More Italy than Austria at the start of the second half, with a double Frank-Petan flash that gives the illusion of a goal that does not arrive. The main problems seem to have the blues in numerical superiority, a situation that instead smiles to the hosts, who draw the winning deflection of Herburger for the advantage network. In the end of the second half, a splendid initiative by Morini who reads Trivellato's cut well: the 2-2 fades very little. It starts with a more enterprising Italy in the offensive phase, Morini has the good puck for a draw, while on the opposite side the challenge between Rossi and Bernard continues, with the blue goalie closing the door with a double throw.
6 minutes from the end, the Italian siege of Kickert's cage reaches the point of maximum pressure, but the Austrian door is truly haunted. For a change, the special-teams take care of the closing credits: third goal in power-play for Austria and match on ice, with the score completed by Spannring's goal into an empty net.
