As much as the Amiens players could have doubts with their thwarted preparation and the virus that had affected them during the week, the performance delivered in Anglet was able to reassure them. By winning 5-1 in the Basque Country, admittedly against an opponent who should not be at the top of the table, they showed a rather attractive face in many areas. Starting with that of efficiency, when Larinmaa, a good pick from recruitment, opened the scoring by intercepting an Angloye pass.
Plagnat doubles the stakes
While Kozun was solid in his goal, Plagnat doubled the lead after a golden opportunity for the Basques. The Amiens team were also solid in inferiority… and efficient in power when, on their first five-on-four play, Matima widened the gap with a superb recovery.
And if Anglet reduced the gap at the start of the third period, the Gothiques, although a little more jostled as the fatigue of the journey and Covid made themselves felt, put themselves out of harm’s way for good in a few seconds: first thanks to Matima following the work of Gibert then thanks to De Mali, rightly rewarded for his good match (5-1). A great victory on the road before hosting Rouen on Tuesday.
