If the end of Sunday's Ligue Magnus meeting between the two teams had seen the Angloys corner the Briançonnais around their goal to try in vain to get back together, the start of the 8th final this Tuesday evening was totally to the advantage of the High Alps. Ahead in the reading of the game, winner of the duels, Briançon besieged the Basque defensive zone. Twenty minutes of very strong pressure on Dylan St Cyr's goal which nevertheless resulted in a 0-0 at the first break. 0, like the number of Basque throws on the Briançonnais goal after act 1…
But on Beaudoin's first attempt to really head towards the target, the American striker from Hormadi hit the mark and opened the scoring for his team (0-1, 25th). Clinical for some, chilling for others… A real shock for René-Froger who pushed his protégés harder and harder.

The Briançonnais public was going to be rewarded and even triple. On the first numerical advantage offered to the Devils, Lemay victoriously concluded a very good collective game (1-1, 33rd). The next minute MacEachern doubled the lead for the Haut-Alpins (2-1, 34th), before Barnaby removed the cobweb from St Cyr's goal two seconds before the second break (3-1, 40th) , enhancing a lot of work by Bérard.
The third period was still just a long Briançon monologue. Cornered, without weapons, Hormadi gave in a fourth time while St Cyr had left his net three minutes from the buzzer. It was Persson who concluded Briançon's beautiful evening (4-1, 57th) against the Basques who only passed through this 8th final of the Coupe de France like ghosts.
