On the Hormadi side, the objective was clear from the start of the meeting, this Friday: to hold out against the big Angevin force and repeat the feat of Chamonix. It was close but Anglet lost (2-1). From the start of the match, the green and whites nevertheless attacked Cowley’s cages, who had to work several times to save his team.
Solid and diligent, the Angloys held on when the Dukes took advantage of the first penalty. In turn Dylan St. Cyr worked miracles in his goal. And a solid goalkeeper was needed to counter the Angevin shots. Cornered in his defensive zone for the rest of the first third, Hormadi suffered warning shots from Bardaro and Sccherbak. But held on (0-0, 20th).
Arrossamena leads the way
Everything was going to get complicated as soon as we returned to the ice at the IceParc. Brodie Reid, ideally served by Bardaro, pierced the St. Cyr net, cementing local domination (1-0, 20’59). With one knee on the ground, Hormadi gave in a little more and showed himself to be more and more dangerous against Cowley.
Nicolas Arrossamena, always popular since his time in Angevin, called on the opposing goalkeeper twice. Above all, he showed the way to his teammates. In numerical superiority, Craig Puffer found the fault, with a shot into the top corner (1-1, 35th). The Basque pressure was felt more and more and Anglet came within a few centimeters of doubling the lead, at the very end of the second third.
St. Cyr’s only mistake
The pressure was still present for the last twenty minutes of this meeting. Angers pushed and Anglet resisted as best he could. And even the best opportunities were created, calling on the reflexes of the Angevin goalkeeper. St. Cyr was not to be outdone either, stopping two counter-attacks, waking up the local public, a little asleep by the evening’s performance.
The end of the match was only going to be a succession of lost pucks and missed opportunities on both sides of the ice. And as time passed, the specter of extension loomed. But in the last minute, Reid took advantage of the Basque goalkeeper’s only placement error to close the score (2-1, 58’35). Leaving doubts and regrets in the minds of the Angloys.
