And 8! Lausanne did not miss their chance to continue their winning streak in the National League when they traveled to Lugano with a 3-1 success.
Legend has it that the start of a match in Ticino sometimes makes teams regret having had to cross the Gotthard after a long journey. But not with this Lausanne, nor with this Lugano. Because it was the Vaudois who were quick to open the scoring. After 82 seconds, Niklas Schlegel compromised behind his goal and on his way back he made a save which sent him sliding all the way to Locarno. Damien Riat was then able to take advantage of the empty goal.
Geoff Ward’s players logically doubled the lead in the 25th minute via the cross of Michael Raffl, scorer of his first goal this season. Lugano then had 1’20 at 5 against 3, but the Ticinese were unable to beat Pasche. And in the 37th minute, it was Ken Jäger who was able to add a goal in the middle of a Lugano defense on the street.
Kevin Pasche once again narrowly missed his 8th shutout of the season. This time the fault was a success from Luca Fazzini in the 43rd. The LHC takes advantage of this victory to move to 72 points.
Ajoie bows in Bern
So it’s still five better than Berne. The Bears had no problem dominating Ajoie 5-1 at home. The Jurassians believed it for a few minutes, since Hazen opened the scoring in the 12th minute. Only Czarnik equalized in the 18th. Just after mid-match, the Bernese scored two new goals and the mass was said. In the end, the capital’s players shot 48 times on goal compared to 24 shots on the Jura side.
Behind the two clubs, we find Zurich which won by the narrowest of margins in Langnau (1-0). Further confirmation of the talent of Stéphane Charlin in the Emmental cages.
Miranda and Savior
Also traveling to Ticino, but higher in the canton than Lausanne, Geneva resorted to overtime to leave Leventina with two points (2-1 ap).
The decision fell in the 62nd thanks to Marco Miranda on a nice serve from Sami Vatanen. And if we rely on the number of shots on each side, the Geneva victory is a bit flattering. A bit like Berne against Ajoie, Ambri strafed Raanta with 46 shots, while the Greant only sent 27 shots at Gilles Senn. But it’s not the quantity that makes the difference.
Deprived of Manninen, suspended five matches for hitting an official with his stick on Wednesday evening in Zug, the Eagles had to rely on their other imports. And luckily, the Garnets can count on Teemu Hartikainen, a sort of all-risk insurance. In the 27th minute, the Finn scored his 16th goal of the year, his 5th success in the last seven matches.
André Heim was able to equalize in the 50th in a game where there was not a single minute of penalty. Geneva is still 10th with 47 points and three lengths behind Rapperswil who beat Kloten 5-2.
