The LHC wins in front of its audience against the ZSC Lions (2-0). The post-match is presented to you by our main partner, Vaudoise Assurances.
A much better face than Tuesday against Genève-Servette
The setback received this Tuesday in the derby had the merit of waking up our Lions who showed a much better face this evening. Right away in the match, Geoff Ward’s men quickly put great pressure on the goal. Robin Zumbühl. Much in demand, the Zurich goalkeeper held up well for around ten minutes before being beaten by a long shot from David Sklenicka. Relieved after this first goal scored, our Lions redoubled their efforts and quickly scored a second goal through Michael Hügli after an agility number of Fabian Heldner.
After this first third dominated head and shoulders, the Vaudois players will completely maintain control of the match. Without succeeding in widening the gap further, our Lions maintained constant pressure on Robin Zumbühl who had to work on numerous occasions to keep his team in the match. Defensively, everything seemed to be going well at LHC this evening. Solidarity was the key word within the Vaud rearguard and Kevin Pasche once again achieved an XXL performance, of which only he has the secret.
A first place in the ranking
With two games ahead of their evening opponents, this provisional first place in the National League standings is more anecdotal than anything else. Nevertheless, it will have the merit of promoting Lausanne’s consistency since the start of the season. Disappointments can occur with the succession of matches, but Geoff Ward’s men never give up and very often manage to remobilize themselves so as not to start a negative spiral. A success, both physical and mental, which must be unanimously welcomed this evening!
The stars of the match
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kevin Pasche : Author of 28 saves this evening, he stopped all the opposing attempts. Our number 33 comes out blank for the fourth time this season, nothing to complain about. His home jersey will end up being the same color as his away jersey if this continues.
⭐️⭐️ Michael Hügli : little by little the bird makes its nest, as the other would say. Discreet, our number 19 has had a string of good performances and has shown a lot of seriousness in recent weeks. The work pays off, well done Michael!
⭐️ Fabian Heldner : He’s clearly not the most offensive defender in our squad. However, our number 91 had ants in his skates this evening and the defensive role did not seem to satisfy him. Quite present in the transition, he produced a marvel of solitary rush on the second Lausanne goal. Board your express flight with Fabian Heldn-air.
The evolution of the score
