After two consecutive defeats, the Grenat’s mission was clear: whether it’s beautiful or ugly, we must win! The men of the Treille/Franzén duo had understood what was at stake in the match and they decided to apply great defensive rigor. The sinking of Zug taught them a lesson. A difficult lesson but it was educational. One stat highlights the team’s effort tonight. The Eagles blocked 35 (!!!) shots in the entire game.
The important thing is there! Tonight the Eagles won, and they did it as a team! The Genevans scored first! It’s Teemu Hartikainen who shakes the nets. Helped by a Leventin defender who deflected the shot, the Finnish sniper scored his 16th goal of the season. This advantage lasted a long time and the GSHC thought it would hold the score until the end but Heim decided otherwise. Ambrì-Piotta’s center wanted to make the fun last and his equalizer in the 50th took the two teams into extra time. If the Geneva fireworks were discreet at 3v3, it was Marco Miranda who was able to do well. The Swiss striker was able to deliver his colors and scored his first goal of the season. Hoping that this success will lead to others.
Tomorrow Genève-Servette celebrates its 10th Green Night and hosts Fribourg-Gottéron for the occasion. The Vernets will be buzzing and few places are still available.
