Zug won a six-point game – Umbry and Lausanne also won

Very important victories were achieved by Zug, Lausanne and Ambri-Piota in the third to last round of the National League. The biggest loser is Friborg Gutron.

El Train – Friborg 4: 2

Zug takes advantage of the battle for the last card for direct playoff qualification. The champions defeated direct rival Friborg Gotteron at home 4:2.

That puts EVZ one point ahead of Freiburg, which is ranked outside the top six for the first time since January 8th.

The duel between the sixth and seventh seemed to be settled after half of the match. After two goals in the 27th minute by the Americans Carter Kemper and Tobias Geyser, Zug went ahead by three goals to none. However, penalties have allowed the visitors in the past two years to get back into the game. Friborg quietly took advantage of Zug’s blatant weakness when outnumbered and closed the gap to 2:3 thanks to goals from captain Julian Sprunger and Jacob de la Rose.

Freiburg, who failed three times on the edge of the goal in the first 40 minutes, could no longer make the switch, also thanks to the powerful Leonardo Genoni. Zug goalkeeper settled Freiburg’s fourth consecutive defeat by blocking him. Gutron has not won in Zug for three years (4-0 on November 1, 2019).

On paper at least, the rest of the program speaks for Friborg, who travel to bottom club Aguey on Thursday and welcome the penultimate SCL Tigers on Saturday at the end of the playoffs. Zug faces two challenging tasks with leader Geneva-Servette and getting the Lausanne HC back in power.

Lausanne 3-2 SCRJ

Lausanne wins the duel between the two teams currently in the best form against Rapperswil-Jona Lakers 3: 2 and thus continues its progression in the table. Thanks to goals from Jason Fox, Michael Hughley with his first goal of the season, and Robin Kovacs in the 49th minute, Food made up for it 0:2 after the first half.
