Genève-Servette is in the semi-finals of the Champions League. The Eagles lost 3-2 against the Växjö Lakers in the return, but they won 4-1 in the first leg.
And Geneva is in the last four! The Garnet will face Lukko Rauma in January to perhaps qualify for the final of this European Cup. The 4-1 first leg victory therefore allowed the Servettians to go to Sweden with a fair amount of confidence. In Växjö, Jan Cadieux’s men managed. The Swiss champion dominated the Swedish champion. And in goals, Jussi Olkinuora delivered a solid performance despite conceding 3 goals.

The Finnish goalkeeper, freshly arrived to compensate for Robert Mayer’s injury, was unlucky on the Swedes’ opening score scored by the skate of Ludvig Nilsson. Without panicking, the Eagles let the storm pass and in the 3rd third the Swedes had to reveal themselves since they had to score at least 3 goals.
But by giving too much freedom to players like Vatanen or Manninen, we can get trapped. In the 45th and 47th, the 2 Finns struck. In 38 seconds, from the 49th to the 50th, the Scandinavians scored twice. Nothing to shake the Eagles who finished this meeting perfectly.
