In a packed La Barre ice rink, the Angloys concluded the year 2024 with a victory against a direct opponent for the play-offs (3-2). Stéphane Barin's players began the match with a first penalty conceded by Esipov after two minutes. Outnumbered, Anglet resisted with a vigilant St Cyr. The Basques will score the first goal through Kazarine (1-0, 9th). Well served by Master and Puffer, the Anglet Top Scorer triggers the teddy toss, an operation set up by the club in favor of hospitalized children at Bayonne hospital.
When they return from the locker room, the Gapençais will prove more dangerous. The Raptors will equalize on the counter. Zemitis, well found by Marva and Faure, will deceive St Cyr at point blank range (1-1, 28th). Hallbauer will receive a penalty (33rd) for tripping Puffer. With one more on the ice, the Basques push but cannot find the fault against a Karjalainen on his guard. The visitors will take advantage of this to double the bet by Hallbauer, who has barely left prison. The defender completed a fine move against St Cyr alone, initiated by Gutierrez and Thillet (1-2, 36th) and gave his team the advantage before the start of the third period.
Returning from the locker room, Hormadi will push to get back into the score. After recovering the puck himself, Master runs towards Karjalainensur. The Angloy striker will deceive the Gap goalkeeper brilliantly to equalize (2-2, 44th). The Basques will materialize their good performance thanks to Quattrone. The attacker will conclude a great sequence launched by Munoz and Deslauriers (3-2, 56th). Stéphane Barin's players put an end to five defeats in a row and move one point ahead of their opponent in the standings (10th, 28pts).
