Fribourg-Gottéron seduces, but does not win

We play the 29th minute of play at the SwissLife Arena: Fribourg-Gottéron controls their match perfectly, leads 1-0 and obtains a powerplay. The perfect opportunity to make it 2-0 and create a sensation for the Zurich leader who remains on 8 victories in the last 9 matches. In this 29th minute, Marcus Sörensen, the Friborg top scorer, offers a caviar to… Zurich’s Vinzenz Rohrer, who goes to beat Berra to score the 1-1 in box-play. The only Zurich goal of the evening in the game which will be enough for them to obtain the two points of victory.

Very good start to the match

We say it very often: a match can be decided on a detail, and even more so against the undisputed leader of the National League. Because so far and even after this hard blow, the Friborgs have played excellently, showing themselves to be aggressive and concerned. Raphael Diaz’s opener is the perfect illustration of this: the scorer benefited from immense work from the Bertschy/Sprunger/Mottet line, very prominent this evening.

welcome break

The final third will be marked by chances on each side. It would be necessary to write that the Zürichois made a hold-up, let’s say rather that Fribourg-Gottéron will have had their chance in this match. And the last chance presented itself in overtime with a power play which the Friborgs did not take advantage of. The international break will do good for the Dragons, who will resume on November 12 in the round of 16 of the Champions League, on Swedish soil, against the Växjö Lakers.
