For its 19th fluff operation, Genève-Servette won 2-0 on Friday against Kloten at Les Vernets after a solid if not thrilling match. It will be necessary to confirm on Saturday against Rapperswil.
Genève-Servette must make amends with its public after its 6-1 disaster against Zurich in the CHL. The only change in the garnet lineup since the end of the match against Zurich: Christophe Cavalleri is back since Sakari Manninen is suspended in the league.
The first third is good, but nothing more. The 7,135 spectators (closed ticket offices) must wait to throw their stuffed toys since the initial third will be goalless. It will be the same for the middle third. The match is struggling to get off the ground. Both teams hold together but neither manages to create big chances.
It will only take 35 seconds in the third period for the rain of comforters to be (finally) triggered by Josh Jooris, superbly served by Markus Granlund. This is the second latest goal out of the 19 stuffed games already played since 2006, the record remaining for the 2018-2019 season, spectators had to wait 41 minutes and 12 seconds.
-In addition to the fluff, this goal puts the GSHC on the right track to finally succeed in beating a top 6 team. Josh Jooris even scores a double in the empty cage 33 seconds from time. Solid without being brilliant, the Genevans are winning and that is perhaps the most important thing.
