We know that a derby is not played, but that he wins. Then a Zähringen derby, which is more in the play-off, as much to say that we go to the ultimate stage of this famous maxim. And in the end, it was the Friborgers who won after 89 minutes of play thanks to a success of their Swedish top scores Lukas Wallmark.
The players of Lars Leuenberger played the blow since on the 29 minutes of additional time play, Bern led 20-6 in terms of shots.
Dominated from the first commitment, Friborg was however the first to put the nose at the window. In the 11th, Kevin Nicolet was able to open the brand. The last minute of the initial third party was quite animated with the equalization of Aaltonen and the 1-2 of Wallmark, each time in Power-Play.
We can say that Gottéron was able to take advantage of the rare opportunities offered by the bears to maximize his profits. The players of Lars Leuenberger were more present and more dangerous during the median third, even if it did not appear immediately. Dragons have also conceded the equalization in a bizarre nothing in mid-match. On a shot from Thierry Schild, it was Dave Sutter who unfortunately deflected the Puck above Reto Berra.
The Bernese almost passed in front of the 33rd on a very beautiful triangulation, but the shot of Ejdsell struck the base of the right post of Berra. It was then Sandro Schmid’s turn to highlight himself. First at the 35th on a pretty solo, then especially at the 39th when his pass found Sutter who sent a powerful throw to restore a step ahead of Gotteron, while taking revenge on his unlucky on the 2-2.
Not unhappy, the Bernese were able to level the brand in the 45th on a lucky deviation from Merelä in numerical superiority. And it almost seemed written that this first part would be played beyond 60 minutes, while Friborg deserved better at this moment of the game. But the dragons finally found the fault to lead 1-0 in the series.
