With a remarkable turnaround in the last ten minutes of the game, the EVZ juniors secured victory in Group A. Zug fell behind three times against Tappara Tampere – 0-1, 1-2, and 3-1. But in the final period, Reto Suri’s team turned the game around: Robin Antenen (51st minute, unassisted), Mischa Geisser (54th minute, assisted by Robin Antenen and Flavio Andri) and Nik Petrovic (57th minute, assisted by Loris Wey) were responsible for the 4-3 win. Nando Schriber scored the equalizer to make it 1-1 in the first period (20th minute, assisted by Nik Petrovic).
Thanks to a great team performance, EVZ is now in the Prospects Challenge final for the first time. Who they will face on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. in the OYM hall is still to be decided. In the last group game on Saturday morning, GCK/ZSC Lions will face Rögle.
Thanks to their second victory in their second game, the U21 Elite team has reached the Prospects Challenge final for the first time.
