Ambri-Piotta successfully entered the Spengler Cup in Davos. For their first match, the Leventines beat the Swedes of Örebro 5-2.
Spectacle, intensity, splendid goals, the Ticino residents lived up to their many supporters mounted in the Graubünden resort. As in 2019, Ambri-Piotta won its first meeting in Davos. The victims this time are the Swedes from Örebro, 5th in their championship.
Coach Luca Cereda’s players opened the scoring through their new Canadian Alex Formenton (13th). The former Ottawa Senators forward found himself alone once morest Swedish keeper Enroth to beat him unstoppably. The Leventines were even stronger on the 2-1 of Servettien Josh Jooris (34th). The Canadian had been perfectly served following a triangulation with Zwerger and Pestoni, author of a “caviar” behind.
Twenty-eight seconds later, the Canadian McMillan gave Ambri a 2-goal lead following a superb serve from Formenton. The Swedes never recovered from this double blow. The Leventines will face the Finns of IFK Helsinki on Wednesday for a direct place in the semi-finals.
