FR Gottéron lost at Langnau following a crazy match.

Waking up too late and a second consecutive defeat. Four days following his short loss once morest Zurich, FR Gottéron experienced a very emotional evening on Saturday in Langnau. After filling a disbursement of three goals, the Dragons ended up losing (4-3) once morest the much more regular Tigers throughout the game.
Because the training led by Christian Dubé only really played one period at Ilfis. She waited until her back was once morest the wall to wake up and show her true face. But the goals of Christoph Bertschy (48th), Julien Sprunger (53rd) and David Desharnais (55th), the last two in numerical superiority, finally proved to be useless. Because Langnau was able to recover from the completely crazy return of the Friborg residents by scoring the winning goal 101 seconds from the end of regulation time thanks to Nolan Diem (59th).
A catastrophic departure
Before this unexpected outcome, Gottéron had dug his own grave in the first ten minutes of the match. Instead of leading to the mark – Christoph Bertschy missed the empty cage (4th) – the Fribourgeois had seen Langnau take off on the scoreboard by conceding three goals in the space of 184 seconds between the 7th and the 10th minute.
A disagreement between Janne Kuokkanen and Ryan Gunderson on the Emmental blue line had first led to the opener signed Harri Pesonen, even though Gottéron was playing with one more man on the ice. Marc Michaelis then took advantage of good preparatory work from former Dragon Flavio Schmutz and a delayed penalty to deceive a second time on his team’s first four shots the unfortunate Connor Hughes.
The No 35 from Fribourg, who presented the best statistics in the League at kick-off, was replaced in the process by Jeffrey Meier. But the latter was going to bow just 45 seconds following coming into play on a shot from Aleksi Saarela, who scored his 14th success of the season.
Coming back from 3-0 to 3-3, Gottéron showed character in Emmental and might have snatched a miraculous point. But he was logically punished for only skating during the last 20 minutes. Consistency over the whole of a meeting, this is what he will have to present on Wednesday evening in Biel (7:45 p.m.).
