20th day of Ligue Magnus tonight at the Jean Bouin ice rink. The Eagles in 8th position face the Boxers in 7th position.
The first period is mixed for the Eagles who struggle to stand out in the game. A penalty against the Nice team allows the Bordeaux team to open the scoring. Enzo Carry scores the first goal of the match for his team in the 13th minute (0-1).
The second period starts strong for the Eagles. Jesper Larinmaa scores, allowing his team to equalize in the 23rd minute (1-1). The men of Frantisek Stolc are not left behind and dominate the Bordeaux team, thanks to Mikael Kuronen assisted by Bryan Sautereau and Luka Kalan, giving the Nice team the advantage. But the Boxers are not done yet and equalize in their turn in the 39th minute with a goal from Mathieu Pompei, closing this second period (2-2).
The Eagles are surprised at the end of the match
The Eagles start the final period with a numerical advantage, as the Boxers are down two players. However, the Eagles fail to capitalize on it this time. The end of the match resembles the beginning. Neither team can dominate or take the lead until the last minute… The Bordeaux team secures the victory with a double from Enzo Carry (2-3).
Disappointment is high for the Nice team, who had opportunities to make a difference. No time to ponder. The Eagles’ next meeting is this Sunday in Gap, for the 20th day of Ligue Magnus.
