The situation is getting complicated for Friborg in this National League season. At home, the Dragons were beaten 4-1 by Davos and remain in 13th place.
And seven defeats in the last eight matches! Suffice to say that nothing is going well on the Friborg side. After having collapsed at the end of the match in Bern the day before, the Friborg supporters were waiting for a reaction from their team.
They also hoped to see an attacking Reto Berra and not the angry goalkeeper who abandoned his teammates after the fifth Bernese goal. Started by Pat Emond, Berra regained his senses, but he could not prevent his club from leaving the ice with another defeat. And on Knak’s 2-0, the Zurich goalkeeper was unable to block the puck.
Between Knak’s success, it was Zadina who found the fault twice. The 0-3 in the 47th minute ensured victory for the Davosians and it was not the goal of Sprunger’s honor that changed anyone. Gottéron now has a European Cup match to forget and recompose before facing Lausanne at Malley next Friday.
Lausanne loses the Lions duel
Lausanne, in fact, took a little spanking in the remake of the last championship final. The Lions’ duel clearly turned to the advantage of the Swiss champions for a 6-3 success.
Unlike the Vaudois who had obtained a difficult victory against Zug on Friday evening, Marc Crawford’s men were fresh and they took advantage since it was 2-0 after twenty minutes. After two thirds and a score of 4-0 in favor of the “Z”, Geoff Ward decided to change goalkeeper by bringing in Antoine Keller in place of Kevin Pasche. A bypass which did not have much effect, Keller conceding two goals. But the LHC at least had the merit of scoring three times in the final third and not giving up.
Irresistible power play
It was also in the canton of Zurich that Geneva crossed swords. And we can say that the Eagles faced Kloten at the right time, because the Aviators’ state of grace seems to be over. Beaten by Ajoie, the Zurich residents had no chance against the Finnish brigade of the GSHC for a 5-2 success. Hartikainen, Manninen and Granlund once again caused misery to the opposing defenses with four of the five goals. Five goals all scored on the power play please!
But in Geneva, it is not good to be a guard. Aligned for the first time, Antti Raanta only played twenty minutes before being replaced by Nassim Jaafri-Hayani. Robert Mayer had been spared for this meeting.
Biel was unable to follow up after its success against Lugano. In Langnau, the Zealanders were dominated by the triple S line: Schmutz-Schmutz-Saarela. The Emmental trio was involved in all four successes in the Tigres’ 4-1 victory.
In the last match of the evening, Zug beat Bern 4-2.
