Austria’s national ice hockey team won the duel with Hungary at the Austria Cup in Klagenfurt. In the 3-0 (1:0,0:0,2:0) on Thursday, goalie David Madlener was pleased with a “shut-out”. Oliver Achermann (13th), Emilio Romig (41st) and Lukas Kainz (60th/EN) scored for coach Roger Bader’s team once morest the A-WM relegated team. On Friday (5 p.m./live ORF Sport +) the ÖEHV selection will play once morest Poland. The A-World Cup promoted team beat Italy 3-1.
In front of 1,500 spectators, the Austrians, who competed with debutant Tobias Sablatnig (KAC), got off to a much better start once morest the Hungarians. Achermann from the Swiss second division club HC La Chaux-de-Fonds rewarded the home team’s clear increase in chances; the goal-scoring ratio following the first third was 14:3 in favor of the Austrians. But the Hungarians came up and played a game at least on equal terms in the second third. Madlener was now challenged; his front men were no longer as confident defensively as they had been in the first 20 minutes. The power play opportunities also remained unused.
The supposed 2-0 by Peter Schneider shortly before the third siren did not count due to an earlier offside position. The assets Schneider and Benjamin Baumgartner then combined successfully, Romig had an easy game to make it 2-0. The goal gave Austria a boost. Kainz made it 3-0 0.2 seconds before the end of the game; it was the Capitals center’s first goal in the team jersey. Austria is competing in Klagenfurt as defending champions following the tournament was canceled in the last two years due to corona.
