Authors of a superb performance a few days earlier in the Champions League, Genève-Servette won their first championship match since November 24 with difficulty. A 6-4 success once morest Kloten.
Gauthier Descloux is announced injured for this meeting while Lennström is still absent. The Genevans also have revenge to take once morest Kloten. 10 days ago, the Zurich team barely won 4 to 3 following suffering the game.
It is not in the first third that the Genevans will make the difference. Without managing to make a difference, the Garnets returned to the locker room with a score of 0-0 following 20 minutes which passed without incident.
The difference is made in the second third thanks to Noah Rod, outnumbered who can get ahead of everyone to make it 1-0. The second goal fell a few moments later for the Genevans, 2 minutes 20 later to be precise, thanks to Sakari Manninen. The GSHC continues to unfold with the 3-0 scored a few seconds from the end of the middle third.
At 3-0, we imagine the match being over but the Aviators will score the goal of hope following 60 seconds of play in the third period. The Garnets will regain a 3-length lead 96 seconds later. But the turning point of the match might be Kloten’s 4-2 score following 3 minutes and 6 seconds in the third period. On the goal scored, Robert Mayer complains regarding something (we don’t know what at the time of writing) and leaves. Problem, Gauthier Descloux is absent and it is therefore Nassim Jaffri, usual goalkeeper for the GSHC U20s, who comes into play.
If the first shot received by the young goalkeeper born in 2005 ends up deep and allows Kloten to return to 4-3, Jaafri will be decisive on a few occasions, notably during a 1 once morest 1 once morest Jonathan Ang, the Canadian winger of Kloten. The Garnets will finally score the 5th before Kloten returns to 5-4 at 6 once morest 4 before Jooris seals the score in the empty cage. The Genevans trembled but won…this is perhaps the most important thing this evening.
