Avellino Capellier - Darra OY 2:1 (1:1, 0:0, 1:0)

A nice snowy evening (at least in Tampere) sets the perfect mood for some high-level kiekko, the very first game of the quarterfinals seeing 2rd Avellino and 7th Darra playing against each other. Let's get ready to rumbbbble.

1. erä

01:14 0-1 Darkki (Duntski) - a rather cheap 2v1 goal while both sides only seemed to be warming up.
04:03 1-1 Davidoff (Sean) - a well-aimed shot out of thin air.

AVE saves: 0, poss: 45%
Darra saves: 2, poss: 54%

2. erä

Sean in two half-chances but fails to deliver.
Avellino try to unlock Darra's defence but most of the shooting attempts get blocked - and even those attempts are rather rare.

AVE saves: 0, poss: 46%
Darra saves: 1, poss: 53%

3. erä

00:47 2-1 Sean - he just scores like it was the easiest thing in the world.
Hasek saves a good Ezko's chance.
Darra try hard, but AVE's defence copes with all the tries.

AVE saves: 0, poss: 57%
Darra saves: 2, poss: 42%

A solid defensive effort from Darra didn't seem to be enough to stop Avellino, who did just about enough to secure the win. If they didn't score the early equalizer, it may of have been a completely different game tho.
