Hormadi Anglet beats Toulouse-Blagnac and goes to the round of 16 (0-6)
From the start of the match, the Angloys set their pace and opened the scoring quickly after only three short minutes. The Russian duo Vasilyev – Polodyan is having a hard time defending Toulouse. Following a good conservation of the puck on the right of the circle, Anton Vasilyev serves on a plate in the slot his friend Alexey Polodyan, who unlocks the Basque counter (0-1, 3rd). The Anglo waves break over Xavier Bolduc’s cage during this first act, but the latter unites and resists, despite the repetitive assaults of Rézard’s men. Anglet is ahead at the first break.
Confidence before Chamonix
Bis repeated at the beginning of the second row. Charles Schmitt finds a bright cross pass for his captain Thomas Decock, who shoots at the far post the Belugas goalkeeper (0-2, 21st). In the aftermath, the young Théo Frémond shines the spotlight to provide assistance to Alexey Polodyan. The latter scored twice (0-3, 22nd) and allowed Anglet to logically take off. The Basque goalkeeper Mat Robson had such a quiet evening in the cage that he gave up his place to Julien Gaubert halfway through the match. The English coach decides to involve his back-up in the party. In the seconds following this change of goalkeeper, the new Canadian center, Austin Glover, distinguished himself by scoring his first point, offering a caviar to Olivier Dame-Malka, who, with a one-timer, increased the score (0- 4, 31e).
The Hormadi therefore starts the last twenty minutes with a very comfortable lead of four goals on the scoreboard. On the numerical advantage, Nicolas Arrossamena is close to worsening the score but the number 10 with the sharp mustache finds the left post of Xavier Bolduc. It is finally the native of Toulouse, Lionel Tarantino, who plants the fifth in powerplay (0-5, 47th). At the same time, he scored his first goal of the season. Then the Basque captain, Thomas Decock, also scored twice (0-6, 55th), well assisted by Charles Schmitt and Michal Gutwald. The two end the evening with two assists.
