The U21 Elite Team came close to victory in the second game of the quarterfinal series against the GCK Lions, but in the end it wasn’t quite enough.

After 60 minutes of play, the score remains goalless, leading to overtime. Defender Mischa Geisser receives a costly 2-minute penalty after 64 minutes. The GCK Lions capitalize on this and tie the series at 1-1 thanks to this goal. 

However, the Elit team also gave the regular season runners-up more than a run for their money in Game 2. So after two games, everything is still up for grabs. Game 3 will take place on Sunday evening, March 8, at 6 p.m. 

Exclamation mark from the U21 Elite team at the start of the playoffs!

In the first game of the best-of-five series, coach Reto Suri’s team wins 3-2 away at the GCK Lions after the EVZ’s elite team finished the regular season in 7th place and the Zurich team in 2nd place. In the Swiss Life Arena on Wednesday evening, the EVZ turns Game 1 around in the final third. Gian Körner and Nicolas Kaufmann scored the decisive goals to give Zug a 1-0 lead in the series.

Game 2 takes place on Friday at 6.30 pm at the OYM in Cham. Spectators enjoy free admission. The EVZ is looking forward to numerous supporters!
