KAC before: Can you go out again against Salzburg?

KAC before: Can you go out again against Salzburg?

The final series of Win2day Ice Hockey League has so far been a clear matter for the EC Red Bull Salzburg, which after a further victory against the KAC in the second home game of the series is 2-0. The KAC is now 0: 3 in the best-of-Seven series. This result not only prepares headaches for short -term, but could also make the possible last home game on Friday, since Salzburg could celebrate its fourth title in a row with another victory.

Although the Situation is tense, there is reason for the KAC. The association can look back on an impressive story, because only 8.51% of the playoff series in which they were involved ended without a win. This, coupled with the experience and character of the players, could be crucial to catch up in the series. "Full attack" is the motto for the Klagenfurters because they have nothing to lose and maybe go on the ice with new courage.

intensive game without scoring

in the game against the Red Bulls, Salzburg started at a lot of speed, but the first half hour of the game was characterized by an intensive but goalless encounter. Tyler Lewington already had a promising opportunity in the 7th minute, but it remained unused. The Red Bulls had more offensive shares and strongly added the KAC through an aggressive style of play on their own defensive. Goalkeeper Atte Tolvanen, who was already described several times this season, showed some strong parades and initially kept the KAC in the game.

After the first half ended without gates, the sheet turned in the second section. Salzburg quickly scored two goals: Peter Schneider scored in the 22nd minute after a pass from Benjamin Nissner, followed by Lucas Thaler, who only netiner nets later. Philipp Krening expanded the lead in the 34th minute to 3: 0, with which Salzburg clearly dominated.

The pressure on KAC is growing

In the last third, the KAC tried to come back with a powerful offensive game, but this did not bring the desired success. Tyler Lewington scored a goal in the 48th minute, but the KAC could no longer stop the Red Bulls. Salzburg confidently managed the lead and could not be surprised during a power play. It should be noted that Atte Tolvanen remained without conceding for the fifth time this evening.

The defeat leaves the KAC back with a lot of pressure and the prospect of a decisive game on Friday. The Klagenfurters can rely on their history and the experience already mentioned to turn the series. Salzburg, on the other hand, shows itself as a serious opponent who may focus on his own way of playing the titles, because only one championship title was won in front of their own fans.

The coming game will be of crucial importance for the KAC. If you are not able to win, the series would have ended with a sweep for the traditional club. The ice hockey world looks forward to the next meeting.
