The Italian Hockey League, Varese and Caldaro start with a victory in the semifinals – FISG

The semi-finals of the Italian Hockey League begin with two very tight matches, promising a show that will likely decide who takes the pass to the final after a very tough series. Meanwhile, Caldaro and Varese continue their respective streaks, but Appiano and Bergin prove they have great expendable qualities.

Caldaro won the first derby 3-1

Certainly a male game, as befits derby and play-offs. In the Oltradige Challenge between Caldaro and Appiano, the Pirates got off to a better start. Several serious conclusions and superiority arrives at 13:59 with Rishanen beating Andergassen 0-1. However, the Luccis are an experienced and calibrated qualifier team, able to get back into the race without losing their heads. After wasting chances to excel in the central half, Caldaro strikes at 35:18 with Vulcan and changes the game’s stalemate, with the hosts pushing the attack. The lead went to Andreas Vinatzer at 49:26, so in the closing stages of the match a 5′ penalty for Critelli opens up the possibilities for Caldaro’s powerful play to close it: Marco Virtala at 58:47 makes a 3-1 superiority that closes the scores.

A goal just under 6′ from the end gives Varese a 3 to 2 advantage over Bergen

Also in Varese it was a great battle with the owners able to better approach the match against the always dangerous Lynx. Franchini opens diagonally at 18:40 in the lead, but Meneghini in the central period at 26:16 impacts the game with the winning hit. Exactly five minutes later, it was Franchini who put the Gialloneri ahead again by deflecting Desautels’ shot 2-1 at the end of the second half. In the third game, the Mastiffs attack their heads down but don’t pass, so two volts with nine from the end to hit with a 2-2 lead but at 54:33 Desautels with personal work score it 3-2. A valuable advantage and he defended it until the end with a score of 1-0 in the series.
