In front of his audience, Biel ideally launched his quarter-final of the playoffs once morest Bern. During Act I, the Seelanders, 2nd in the regular season, won 3-0 once morest players from the capital.
Was Biel going to confirm his good regular season in the playoffs? Answer: yes. Fortunately, everything that made the strength of Antti Törmänen’s players did not disappear during the break week.
And even once morest a Bern well on the pace following having had to dismiss Kloten during the pre-playoffs, Gaëtan Haas and his teammates were able to make the difference. The opener (4th) fell in numerical inferiority. After 7 seconds of power-play in favor of the Bears, it was Robin Grossmann who was able to beat Wüthrich in numerical inferiority following a fine pass from Toni Rajala.
Two goals in 79 seconds
But it was mid-match that the Bienne validated their success. In the 31st, it was Jesper Olofsson who took advantage of a poor raise from Henauer to double the lead. 79 seconds later, it was Rajala who deceived the Bernese goalkeeper from a very tight angle.
Bern found the uprights in the third third, notably via Chris DiDomenico, but the Bears did not really have the weapons to disturb goalkeeper Säteri and his defenders.
