Hit | Fribourg-Gottéron dark in Rapperswil

Fribourg-Gottéron cannot do it. The Dragons no longer know how to score! After a 2-0 defeat against Kloten on Friday evening at the BCF Arena, the Friborg side lost 4 goals to 0 against Rapperswil during their trip to the city of Knies on Saturday. And the least we can say is that the show did not work out in favor of Patrick Edmond's men. Worrying situation a few days before the start of the Spengler Cup.

However, there was a good start to the match against the Saint-Gallois who also had 39 points in the standings before the start of the game. Despite the stakes, Friborg never really got into the match. The Dragons quickly (re)fell into their faults. Immediate sanction: Robert Nardella took advantage of a bad Friborg line change to shine and score the first goal (9th, 1-0).

A second third “without”

As is often the case, it was in the second third that the Friborgs missed their match. Tyler Moy allowed his team to take two steps ahead (24th, 2-0), before Niklas Jensen definitively crucified the hopes of the Dragons twice, first in numerical superiority (26th, 3-0), then after 29th minutes of play on a pass from former Fribourg-Gottéron foreigner Viktor Rask (4-0). A final goal for Reto Berrra, far from his big nights on Saturday. After only two thirds, mass was said.

67 shots and zero goals

This is the sad statistic of this weekend: during their last two meetings, the Dragons sent 67 shots towards the opposing cage, for no goal. The absence of Marcus Sörensen, announced with a neck injury by Gerd Zenhaüsern, did not make matters easier for an attack lacking inspiration. As often this season, he lacked a leader to push the team up in difficult times. At the time of the interviews, the faces were gray among the different players present.

In the ranking, Friborg falls to 11th position. The gap of ten points to close until 6th place seems to become insurmountable. Next match Monday against Zug, 6th. One last chance to build confidence before tackling the Spengler Cup.
