A clean sheet for Loïc Galley and a goal for Killian Mottet, a joyful Sunday for Friborg supporters. After helping his club win the Zähringen derby the day before, the 22-year-old from Friborg, on loan to Thurgau, responded by playing the defensive game against the Jurassians.
Because since the arrival of Greg Ireland, Ajoie has not played the expiatory victim. The Jurassiens fight in every match and can count on a very good power play. Only the accumulation of efforts does not speak in favor of the Ajoulots. Players like Bellemare and Nättinen clawed the ice for more than 25 minutes during the 4-3 victory against Lausanne, while in the Friborg ranks De la Rose was used the most against Berne with 19’28.
Ajoie held on until the 20th and a solitary raid from Linden Vey who was able to serve Lilja for the opening score. Then in the 24th minute, Lucas Wallmark converted a relatively generous penalty for a Minder foul. Schmid’s 3-0 in the 37th minute got the better of Jura’s hopes. The Dragons number 73 scored twice in the 45th minute.
Another subject of satisfaction in the ranks of Gottéron, the first goal of the season from Killian Mottet. Expected for weeks, it finally fell to 5-0. All his teammates came to congratulate the Fribourgeois.
For Geneva, it was a matter of digesting the defeat suffered on Friday in Kloten and of being wary of Rapperswil after the change of coach and the dismissal of Stefan Hedlund. To replace the Swede, sports director Janick Steinmann took his place on the bench with assistants Gunnarson and Lundskog, former head coach of Bern.
The Saint-Gallois were quite undisciplined, but they scored their two goals during phases of Geneva numerical superiority. If the Eagles were able to recover from Wetter’s opening score in the 6th, thanks to power-play goals from Lennström (31st) and Jooris (47th), Fabian Maier’s 2-2 in the 54th left a stain .
The Servettians had several chances to complete the affair in 60 minutes and in extra time. They finally had to go for the second point during a long penalty shootout. Geneva is 11th, but Bienne’s 7th place is totally playable.
In the third match of the day, leader Davos got the better of Lugano 2-1 after. It was Julius Honka who scored the winning goal.
