The semi-final opener on Sunday ended with two home wins. Now it continues on Tuesday in Székesfehérvár and Ljubljana. The Moser Medical Graz99ers and HC Falkensteiner Pustertal can make it 2-0 with away wins and remain unbeaten in the 2026 playoffs of the win2day ICE Hockey League. However, it will be a difficult undertaking, especially for Graz, because the last success in Fehérvár was 1,272 days ago and was dated October 7, 2022. Both games will be broadcast live on Sporteurope.tv.
Graz narrowly won 3-2 against Hydro Fehérvár AV19 on Sunday. Michael Schiechl scored the game winner just five minutes before the end. It was the fifth win in the fifth playoff game for the regular season winner. Now they have to play in Székesfehérvár on Tuesday – a place where they have already been without a win for 1,272 days. On October 7, 2022, there was a 2-1 OT win. The last win after regular playing time against the Hungarians was 1,573 days ago: a 6-2 win on December 10, 2021. So far in the current season, Fehérvár has retained the upper hand with 5-2 and 2-1. Semi-final two can be seen live on Sporteurope.tv on Tuesday from 7:15 p.m. – with German and Hungarian commentary.
Ljubljana wants to equalize the series
Olimpija Ljubljana suffered a 3-0 defeat in Bruneck at the start of the semi-finals. At the start of the quarter-finals they were successful with an overtime victory in Bolzano. For Pustertal, in turn, it was the fifth victory in the fifth playoff game and at the same time the first success in the semi-finals of the win2day ICE Hockey League. In their semi-final premiere in 2024 against the KAC, they were eliminated without a win. In the Slovenian capital, the South Tyroleans have won one of the two games of the season so far (4:1), the other went to Ljubljana 6:3. The game on Tuesday can be seen live on Sporteurope.tv from 7:15 p.m. For all Italian fans, the match will also be shown live and free of charge on DAZN Italia.
