Hunter slays the tiger
It took a hunter, Ken Jäger to be precise, to kill the Emmental tiger. The Grisons striker in Lausanne's service scored the only goal of a hard-fought game in the 52nd minute. Stéphane Charlin in goal for the SCL Tigers and Kevin Pasche for the visitors each turned away 36 shots, but the Langnau native was beaten once. Lausanne moved up to second place with their sixth win in the last seven games. Pasche was not beaten for the second time in a row after the 6-0 win against Fribourg-Gottéron on Friday.
Ambri-Piotta stopped in Fribourg
Fribourg-Gottéron showed signs of life after Friday's desolate 6-0 loss in Lausanne. Last year's playoff semi-finalists and current second-last team won a spiteful game with 34 penalty minutes against in-form Ambri-Piotta 4:3. Gottéron led 3:0 after the first, squandered this lead in the middle period thanks in part to two goals from Dario Bürgler, but had the last word thanks to club icon Julien Sprunger's fourth goal of the season in the 49th minute. Also pleasing: 18-year-old own junior Jan Dorthe scored his first championship goal after a hat-trick in the Champions League.
Zug also loses in Rapperswil
EV Zug is sliding into a veritable crisis. The 2021 and 2022 Swiss champions lost 3:4 at Rapperswil-Jona Lakers and thus for the fifth time in the last six games. Although the Central Swiss team turned the tide with three goals in four and a half minutes from 0:2 to 3:2, the Lakers had the last word. The Swede Malte Strömwall and the Dane Nicklas Jensen ensured that Rapperswil-Jona won for the fourth time in the fifth home game and always scored points in the process.
SCB back on track with goal festival
After two defeats, SC Bern returned to winning ways with a festival of goals. With a 5:2 win, they took full points in a home game against Genève-Servette for the first time since January 2022. American Austin Czarnik, the team's leading scorer, continued to impress with a goal and two assists, while Marco Lehmann also scored his eighth goal of the season.
Ajoie with its ninth defeat
Ajoie lost for the ninth time in the tenth game of the season. On Friday in Zurich, the bottom team still showed morale and managed to get a point after going 4-0 down. Against Davos, however, after Michael Fora scored his first two goals, there was no more rebellion in the middle third. The score remained 3:0. After their hard-fought victory against SC Bern, HCD had a relaxed win against their former coach Christian Wohlwend on Thursday.
