However, the game against the lower-class opponents from the 4th KF division did not take place in Geneva, the city with the eagle in its coat of arms, but in Vernier, the city with the fish in its coat of arms and the second largest city in the canton of Geneva.
As usual in the first league cup round for Floorball Köniz, the team will compete with both 1st league KF players and 3rd league KF players. However, the team was weakened a bit by an illness-related cancellation before the game, so that in the end there were 2 goalkeepers and only 9 players in the squad.
Nevertheless, the team went into the first game of the season motivated, with the aim of finally realizing the “Big Fish” this season, according to the motto “Road to Wankdorf”, or to stay in the aquatic language “Flow to Wankdorf”. .
Despite the deficit, the Könizer came back
Although Köniz was able to net in the first minute of the game in summery temperatures in the hall, they never got into a flow. Too many chances were missed at the front and at the back you kept getting into trouble due to ball losses and lack of concentration. The logical consequence of this was that UHC Genève was able to take a 3-1 lead by the middle of the first third to the frenzy of cheering from the 38 home fans.
Despite being two goals behind, the Könizers didn’t let themselves be disturbed and consequently made use of the power play and penalty opportunities offered and were able to take the lead again with 3:5 until shortly before the end of the third period. Now you thought you were already in the third break and conceded three more goals before the siren, so that you finally had to go to the tea break with a one-goal deficit.
Only in the middle of the game was Floorball Köniz able to take the lead again
The break speech had an effect for the time being and Köniz was able to balance the game again in terms of the result. As a result, however, an exchange of blows took place, in which the teams were able to score alternately. Only in the middle of the game was Floorball Köniz able to take the lead again after a rehearsed free kick variant. Now Köniz made a goalkeeper change at the score of 9:10.
After that, the game calmed down a bit, at least as far as the net zapplers are concerned. This was also due to the fact that the goal border of the Könizer goalkeeper was badly strained a few times. On the other side, the Geneva goalkeeper miraculously fished the holey balls out of the air again and again. Closes with just one more goal by the end of the middle third, and that’s for the hosts, which left the dressing room tied 10-10.
The Könizer side switched to two lines for the last part of the game in order to increase the rhythm and thus bring about the decision. Shortly after the first face-off of the last third, the guests were able to take the lead again. The Calvinstätters now noticed that they paid tribute to their energy-sapping and aggressive style of play in the first two thirds.
The Könizer win the game 17:12
Nevertheless, it took until the 50th minute before the Könizer Kleinfeldjungs were able to increase the score. Although the home team was able to score another goal in this phase of the game, the visiting team was able to succeed several times until the end thanks to two penalties. At the latest after 11:17 the game was decided and the last goal of the game was reserved for the Geneva team, which in the final 12:17 was a lapse.
Conclusion of the game: Started weak, then reduced a bit and turned it up at the end. In the next cup round, the LC Rapperswil-Jona is a small field team that has been promoted to this season and plays in the 1st league. In this game you will be careful to build on the (result-related) performance of the final third against Geneva right at the beginning and not to start weak again and then break down.
