It was therefore necessary at all costs to exit this trip with a positive result for the Basques to return to the rearview mirror of Chamonix (10th) and Amiens (9th). Following the score of the whole game, the mission accomplished is finally for Anglet who won at the last minute thanks to a magical duo: Alexey Polodyan and Anton Vasilyev (4-5).
Too amateur
The hand-to-hand had begun a quarter of an hour late in the wake of an unhurried doctor and in a very sparse René Froger skating rink. Once started, the match got off to a good start for the locals. Opposite, the Angloys looked very timid, despite two unsuccessful chances from French winger Fabien Kazarine. On a bad change of line by the Basques, the Red Devils logically opened the scoring with a half high shot under the shield of Russian Denis Kurepanov (1-0, 10th).
Pierrick Rézard’s side were harmless and even smug, but still tied. After a great action between Austin Glover and Fabien Kazarine, the young Victor Ranger took advantage of a mess (1-1, 14th). The joy did not last long for Anglet, given that at the end of the period the Haut-Alpins regained the advantage with Gaëtan Villiot (2-1, 18th).
Rain of goals
At the beginning of the second act, the Hormadi inevitably returned with more intention and tied again. Even in powerplay, well served by Austin Glover, Anton Vasilyev triggers his shot on the wrist and deceives Jan Broz (2-2, 25th). But once again Anglet began to look at himself and Briançon took advantage of it.
It was a Russian story on Tuesday night, as Artem Garifulin was looking for a rebound to push the puck deep (3-2, 26th). At that moment the game went all over the place. Charles Schmitt allowed Anglet to equalize again in powerplay with a shot from the blues (3-3, 28th), well assisted by Alexey Polodyan and Anton Vasilyev. But Briançon returned the lead 15 seconds later with Gaëtan Villiot for a brace (4-3, 29th). Anglet accelerates in attack and Bastien Zago scores his second goal of the season from a delayed penalty (4-4, 39 ‘). Once again served by an unsustainable Anton Vasilyev and author of his twelfth point of the season, the number 16 drew six to five in the closing seconds of the second third.
Issue
Anglet takes the third time from the right wing, Pierrick Rézard’s players camp in the attacking zone and massively threaten Jan Broz’s cage. Michal Gutwald and Dame-Malka try from distance, without hitting the target, same result for Austin Glover. In the money time, Matyas Zelingr was close to allowing his team to take control, attempting a run on the Brianza cage, but the puck remained in Jan Broz’s shoes.
