Les Boxers de Bordeaux pas loin du hold-up
Long without success. The fault with the crossbar of the Bordeaux goal, which repelled the spearman of Tomasino (25and), but also and above all to the performance of the last bastion of the Boxers. Imperial during the last ten minutes of the second act. Ten minutes one way. Ten minutes during which the Rouennais laid siege to the Girondin corn without ever managing to deceive Richard’s vigilance. However, the opportunities were not lacking.
In numerical superiority first, Tessier (29and), Flood (29and), Gilbert (29and) and Johnson (30and) putting the Bordeaux goalkeeper to work, then, then, five against five. But against Gilbert (32nd, 37th) as much as in front of Vignerons (36thand), Johnston (37th, 39and) and Tessier (38and), this one, sometimes with a little success, proved to be decisive. Imperial.
An Imperial Richard
Accompanied by the baraka, the number 38 of the Boxers was at the start of the third period when, on a throw from Yeo, the puck again hit the crossbar of his goal (41and). Not successful, however, the Dragons continued to push. If Guimond (42and), Tessier (45and), Lamper (46and), Shakyachvili (46and) and Bedin (46and) stumbled on Richard, Gilbert, in numerical superiority, ended up finding the way of the nets.
At last. Well offset by Flood, the Quebecer fired a throw that left no chance for the last Girondin rampart (1-1, 47’45). The Dragons then tried to force the decision at the end of the match but neither Nesa (50and), nor Yeo (50and), Guimond (53and), Flood (55and), Dorion (56th) or Chakiashvili (57th) did not succeed.
Both teams went into overtime. Prolongation just as one-way as the encounter. But, as during this one, Richard postponed the deadline for a long time, intervening against Tessier (61and), Flood (62and), Bedine (62and), Charon (62and) and Gilbert (63and). It finally took a nice number from Guimond, who went around the cage, to see him finally give in (2-1, 63’48).
