Vienna wins the Austrian derby
Alpine Hockey Championship | 22.12.2021:
(mg) In the only match scheduled on this Wednesday before Christmas, the Linz youth team was on stage at the Steffl Arena in Vienna to visit the young “Caps”. The two teams had suffered defeats in their last two games, and each had managed to win just two of their last five outings. The two teams, however, the low ranking positions. The young people of the Austrian capital are squeezed to the bottom of the General Table as they stand, Linz is just a couple of steps above.
Tonight’s correspondence was truly electrifying with a swing of signs that made it truly interesting. The visitors took the lead with a goal from Kevin Farren. The hosts reached a draw thanks to Valentin Ploner. Then, using as many power plays, the boys from Upper Austria scored twice, in seven minutes, first with Stefan Freunschlag and scorer Niko Lahtinen. The Vienna, which was two goals down at seven minutes, managed with a very well played drittel final, to rebalance the result and – finally – to bypass the formation led by Harald Pschernig. The goals of the young Capitals bear the signatures of Fabio Artner, Kevin Pesendorfer (in double Power Play); but the decisive goal of the match was signed by Amadeus Egger at 57:45 minutes.
