ICEHL: Pustertal has the upper hand in the South Tyrol derby!

HC Falkensteiner Pustertal prevailed against HCB Südtirol Alperia and is in third place in the table thanks to its sixth win of the season. The Foxes’ six-game winning streak ended.

3,100 fans experienced a thrilling 199th South Tyrolean derby in the sold-out Intercable Arena. The guests from Bolzano got off to a strong start and went into the first break 2-0 after goals from Mantenuto and McClure. Pustertal fought back in the middle section and equalized, but the HCB took the lead again in the 44th minute through Misley. However, a brace from Rok Tičar within two minutes turned the game in favor of the home team. Shortly afterwards, Bowlby made it 5:3 and sealed the final score in the 53rd minute. It was already the second derby victory in a row for the now third-placed HCP.
