Twenty-four hours after the round 1 relocated, Lyon found his ice cream with the desire to confirm his good launch in this division 2 final against Montpellier. Revanchards who took the match by the right end, converting the first Lyon offense by a goal from Marius Cagigos. The advance was very ephemeral, because a “retain” by Léopold Beckmann offered Ranel Vafin a penalty shot, and the scorer did not refuse the offering. The two teams maintained themselves in compliance, but a double Montpellier fault at the end of the second period offered Lions a golden opportunity to pass. Including act, Rocco Andreacchi found the fault at 5 against 3 to give the advantage to his own.
Having no more choice but to discover in the last twenty to try to force the decision, the Montpellier left spaces, and this took advantage of Flavien Fondadouze then Deni Elabiev, allowing the Lyonnais to obtain a comfortable lead. The Russian defender even granted himself a double at the end of the game, to complete local success (5-1). With two successes “at home” (taking into account the match played in Annecy the day before), the Lions are only a victory of the title synonymous with promotion in division 1. But it will not be easy to win the decisive Channel in Montpellier, where the Verses have not lost since January 25 … against Lyon.
