Genève-Servette did not fail to achieve its first final puck. At home, the Genevans won 3-2 once morest Zug to win their series 4-1. They therefore join Bienne in the final, which had dominated Zurich 4-0 in its series. This clash between the first two teams of the regular season promises sparks.
And here is Geneva for the 4th time in the National League final. After 2008, 2010 and 2021, the Garnet will have the opportunity to seek the champion’s cup. Faced with the double reigning champion, Jan Cadieux’s players have once once more been able to recover from a deficit.
While in the first 4 matches, they had each time conceded the opener, this time it was they who struck first. But that did not bring them luck as Zug responded with two goals (29th Herzog and 38th Vogel).
Only on the side of the GSHC, we can count on imported players. In the 23rd, it was Linus Omark who opened the scoring following a very good pass from Tömmernes. The essential Swedish playmaker was once more the author of the decisive pass on the equalizer of Sami Vatanen in the 41st.
Jooris decisive goalscorer
The Genevans managed to take the lead on a magnificent goal from Josh Jooris in the 52nd following a very good stint with Linus Omark. And even if Zug tried to level the score at the end of the game, the Garnets knew how to manage their match as they knew how to manage their season by finishing leader following 52 matches.
The final will therefore oppose the first 2 of the regular season. A logical poster if we focus on the previous months, but which can still surprise when the opponents are called Zug and Zurich.
