In a quick game, the ÖEHV team created the most chances and took a deserved 2-0 lead in the middle third thanks to a brace from Benjamin Nissner.
Shortly afterwards, Italy reduced the score to 1:2 and was lucky to equalize in the final period. In overtime, Peter Schneider finally scored the deserved winning goal. Next week the national team will meet in the same configuration in Vienna, where they will host the Czech Republic on April 23rd. The game will be broadcast live on ORF SPORT + at 7:00 p.m.
Head coach Roger Bader: “Every win of course gives you self-confidence. I also believe that this win was deserved, it would have been deserved even after 60 minutes. The second goal was unfortunate, but that happens in ice hockey. We missed scoring the third or fourth goal. We created a lot of chances. The fact that their goalkeeper was chosen as the best player was no coincidence. He took the one point for Italy. Against the Czech Republic we will be challenged differently again and that’s great because we can take the next step.”
Dominic Zwerger: “Italy played very well. It was a hard-fought but deserved victory. We want to play against the best in order to be well prepared for the World Cup and they are getting better now. The team is like a family and you can see this chemistry on the ice. We want to continue like this so that we can be in top form at the World Cup.”
