The Rouennais did not fall into the trap of Morzine-Avoriaz, while Grenoble dominated Amiens in difficulty. The draw for the semi-finals will take place this Thursday, December 19 at 12:30 p.m., live from our YouTube channel.
By scoring in the 17th second, Rouen’s Milan Kytnar left little suspense in this meeting. Especially since the Dragons quickly doubled the lead thanks to a powerful shot from Dylan Yeo which finished in the top corner. Morzine-Avoriaz will last 25 minutes before cracking twice in three minutes. Sebastien Bengtsson showed his speed on the 3-0, then his collective sense with a Nice double pass between him and Vincent Nesa on the fourth goal. Latvian Rolands Vigners made it 5-0 just before the end of the middle third. The Penguins saved the honor five minutes from time thanks to Joan Cerda, who found the top corner after a good serve from Maxim Ziuziakin. Alone, Guillaume Naud will score the last goal of the match in favor of the Rouennais (6-1).
The Brûleurs de Loups opened the scoring in the fifth minute of play through Adel Koudri, who took advantage of a mix-up to score in the empty goal. Less than five minutes later, Alexandre Mallet goes around the ice before magnificently finding Kyle Hardy, first intention scorer. The Gothics managed to come back in the 25th minute through a twist of fate. Outnumbered, the Grenoble defense clears directly into the skate of Loïc Farnier, who involuntarily puts Gauthier Gibert back into the race. Four minutes later, the 97 Amiens are again at the conclusion on a deviation. The BDL did not procrastinate and regained the advantage in the minutes that followed through Adel Koudri. The Gothiques will never manage to come back, and will concede a goal in an empty cage from Nicolas Deschamps at the end of the match (4-2).
