It’s clear: The KAC is challenging in the semi-finals of the ICE Ice Hockey League Pustertal. Because the South Tyroleans clearly won game seven in the quarterfinals at Szekesfehervar 4-1. Salzburg and Bozen will meet in the second semi-final.
While Szekesfehervar came a strong second in the basic round, Pustertal had to go through the pre-play-offs – and still made it to the semi-finals. In the 4-1 win in Hungary, the South Tyroleans were ice cold in front of the goal – and defended really well. In particular, the first line of strikers with Akeson, Schofield and Morley were involved in all four goals. 2:2 in duels of the season. While the Red Jackets lost the first two duels against the Italians, the last result was 2:0 at home and the 7:1 shooting festival two clear wins away. It is the first ever duel between the two clubs in the play-offs. It starts on Tuesday in Klagenfurt and the game will also be broadcast live on Puls24. The first away game in South Tyrol will take place on Friday.
