Match Summary
After a delay of about 30 minutes due to traffic congestion on the referees’ way to the game, Kitzbühel got off to a better start and created the first scoring chances. Davids Livsics gave the visitors a 0–1 lead (5th minute), while at the other end, Edvins Berzins hit the post with a shot (8th minute). Luca Haitzmann made several strong saves to prevent further goals before Alexander Höller extended the lead to 0–2 (11th minute). The Tyroleans remained dangerous with their quick transitions, and Erik Wittwer made it 0–3 (16th minute).
Kitzbühel opened the second period with a great scoring chance; shortly afterward, the Juniors had to defend while shorthanded for the first time. The penalty kill led by Haitzmann held firm, and afterward the young Salzburg team gradually found their rhythm and created several scoring chances; Tobias Koller hit the post (30th minute). In the closing minutes, the Red Bulls earned their first power play and pressed for a goal to cut the deficit. However, Kitzbühel capitalized on a quick counterattack while shorthanded, with Jan Lattner scoring to make it 0–4 (39th minute).
In the final period, the Juniors initially turned up the pressure, but a penalty stopped the Salzburg offense. Matic Podlipnik capitalized on the visitors’ power play with a shot from the blue line to make it 0–5 (45th minute). The Red Bulls responded through Paul Oberhauser, who cut the lead to 1–5 (48th minute) after assists from Jakob Schnabl and Luca Fischer; just 92 seconds later, Luca Krizanovic scored his first goal in the Alps Hockey League to make it 2–5 (49th minute) following setups from Tim Heimel and Lukas Greil.

Statement from Forward Luca Krizanovic
“Of course, it’s a great feeling to score my first goal in my very first game, but we can’t be satisfied with the result. We had our chances early on and might have been able to turn the game around with an early goal. Overall, we need to work harder, win our battles more consistently, and come out stronger from the start in our next game.”
