With Karvonen, Mäkelä, Polodyan and Vasilev absent at kick-off, the Angloys start this match diminished. Despite this, the locals start strong and quickly surprise Amiens. The powerful Czech defender, Michal Gutwald, did it again as against Briançon on Wednesday and scored twice in the space of thirty seconds, with two big shots from the blue which literally pierced Buysse, in the top corner for the first (1-0, 3rd) , and in the small net for the second (2-0, 3rd) which allows Anglet to make the entry break.
A third and then goes
Picked cold, the Picards react and multiply the assaults on the cage of Florian Hardy. Until finding the fault through Naas who also goes there with his double, in numerical superiority first with a vicious shot under the shield of the Basque goalkeeper (2-1, 14th), then a few minutes later, with success on a deflected shot that lobbed the French international goalkeeper (2-2, 17th). In their continuity, the Gothics score a third goal just before the end of the first third, a millimeter one timer from Ohrvall (2-3, 19th) allows the visitors to be in front after twenty minutes.
In a fluid second act with few stoppages, the Amiens camped in the offensive zone before getting scared on a loss of blue puck, Nicolas Arrossamena grabbed the puck and went alone on a break against Buysse, but the latter make the stop. The Basques can blame themselves, after a commitment won in the offensive zone, Mathieu Pons shot in the skate of the Amiénois Szita who goes against, the latter finds Pretnar who concludes with a backhand in the skylight (2-4, 34th). The Hormadi weakens and the Gothics take off on the power play just before returning to the locker room, thanks to Bruche (2-5, 39th).
Jacob Sweeney sounded the charge and reduced the mark from the start of the last third. Going around the cage, the Quebecer slips the puck between the doorman’s legs (3-5, 41st). But Amiens replied instantly via Naas who scored a hat-trick (3-6, 42nd) before the Picards went on and forced Hardy to change with Bertein, thanks to Plagnat (3-7, 46th) then Naas (3-8, 47th). La Barre was cooled, but Ranger still reduced the score (4-8, 48th) before Amiens drove the point home further via Ohrvall and Naas (4-10, 54th). Anglet collapses completely and takes a knockout by conceding the eleventh goal, signed Pearce (4-11, 57th) which seals the Amiens correction in the Basque Country.
What could be better than a confrontation against Rouen tonight (8:30 p.m.) to complete this regular season, in a match that everyone is waiting for between the two teams. Rouennais who also played last night against Angers (2-4 defeat), and who will travel to Bordeaux tomorrow. Lhenry’s men are expected in the Basque country this Saturday evening.
