Asiago defeats Salzburg in exciting penalty shooting!

In the exciting supplementary game of the 30th round of the Win2day ICE hockey League, Migross Supermercati Asiago Hockey celebrated a surprising victory over the incumbent master EC Red Bull Salzburg on Tuesday evening. After a gripping duel that went into the penalty shooting phase, the Italians won 4: 3 and thus secured an important prestige success. Especially after the disappointing 1: 5 in the first game against Asiago this season, the Salzburgers were warned, which was clearly shown in the course of the game, such as hockey-news.info reported.

The game started in the eighth minute with an unexpected leadership for Asiago by Alex Ierullo, but a quick balance of the "ice bulls" followed hardly a minute later through Troy Bourke. Salzburg only brought the lead with a goal shortly afterwards. But the middle third was hard fought and ended with a goal from Nick Saracino, who scored the 2-2 equalizer shortly before the second break. In the last section, Mario Huber brought the Salzburg lead again, but Asiago successfully countered when Saracino scored 3: 3 equalizer with his second goal in the 59th minute. The overtime remained goalless, before Asiago triumphed in the shootout, as well as laola1.at confirmed.

With this success, despite her defeat in the race for the pre-playoffs, Asiago jumps back from the international break with a new momentum. Salzburg, on the other hand, must analyze the causes of the renewed defeat in order to improve their position in the table in the coming games. The game was a numerous proof of the exciting and unpredictable nature of the current season of ICE hockey League.
