A balanced first round in the WSE Cup, where five out of eight matches had a difference of a maximum of one goal. The three clear winners of the first round were the reigning champion Voltregà Movento Stern who beat the French Noisy 11-2 (five goals from Jordi Burgaya), the Portuguese Murches won 9-4 against Diessbach (six goals from Gonçalo Nunes), and the Italian Follonica Hockey against the German SKG Herringen (two goals for Davide Banini and Marco Pagnini). A daring tie for the French Coutras on Portuguese soil in Braga, reaching the tie 2-2 in the last two minutes of the match after the Portuguese 2-0. All the other four matches are also very open for the second leg on 20 January 2024. Three Italian victories: Edilfox Grosseto won 3-2 against Igualada (deciding goal by Gaston De Oro), HC Valdagno won against La Vendenne 4-3 (last goal by Giuliano Giuliani) and one of the most unexpected results, Teamservicecar Monza won 3-2 against Noia Freixenet (deciding goal by Matteo Galimberti). The second Spanish victory was signed by PAS Alcoi against the Italian Gamma Innovation Sarzana 4-3, where the goals of Perez and Ceschin decided the match. In a month the definitive act to qualify for the quarterfinals, where there are still no real leaders in five games.
With this last press release of the year 2023, we want to wish you all a happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year 2024.
