At home, Ajoie can’t do it either. The Jura team is now led 2-0 by Langnau in the play-out series between them. Julien Vauclair’s men lost 2-0.
Facing the SCL Tigers, the maintenance operation in the National League is not easy for the Jurassians. It becomes even more difficult when they concede penalties. After having made equal play with their opponents in a first goalless period, the Ajoulots gave in in the next.
If they resisted following the sending of Brennan on the bench of infamy for a shot with the butt, they might not prevent the opener of the score of Holmström (30th), while Hauert was serving a sentence two minutes for high stick.
Always on the lookout, Eakin meanwhile offered a margin of safety to the Tigers in the last twenty minutes (50th). Another blow to the heads of the Jura, which proved to be decisive.
The Jura residents already find themselves in a delicate situation before a new trip to Emmental on Saturday for Act III.
