Last weekend our Rouen Dragons shook Angers on Ile Lacroix. Indeed, this match was essential to regain second place in the Magnus League standings. A great performance which ended in a 5-1 victory in a tense match during the first 2 quarters.
A match under high tension
Last weekend's meeting was worthy of a playoff match. The two teams went blow for blow during this meeting. Indeed the challenge for Rouen was to get back in the right mood by starting the year on a good note and regaining 2nd place in the Magnus league rankings. Today it's done, but we will now have to stay the course for the month of January which promises to be very spicy with a large number of matches.
An XXL performance from defender Aleksi Elorinne
Indeed, during this more than tense match between the number 2 and number 3 of the league ranking Magnus, it was necessary to impose itself in defense and leave no hope to the Angevin attack and that is what Aleksi did Elorinne, the 32-year-old Finnish defender, foiled every attempt by the Dukes. Supported by his impregnable goalkeeper Matija Pintaric having conceded only one point just before the final whistle.
Another sold out match
This season the supporters are more than there to support our Rouen team in its quest to win a 17th Magnus league title. Indeed, for the 3rd time in a row in a sold-out capacity, spectators at the Nathalie Péchalat ice rink were able to witness a real titanic clash between the 2 teams.
