We don’t want to keep some of the highlights from you:
The defensive battle waged by 12 Lucerne players, two of whom were injured so badly during the game that they had to sit on the bench, forcing the team to hold on to a respectable 1-3 lead until the final whistle while effectively playing shorthanded (with the occasional counterattack opportunity).
The rollercoaster of emotions during the shootout between HCO and Servette in the men’s tournament (third-place game)—it doesn’t get any more thrilling than that.
And the women’s teams from Servette and RWW delivered yet another nail-biter. With a risky move (11 field players, no goalie—4 minutes before the end), Servette fought back to tie the game. Only to fall behind again just a few minutes later. A corner just seconds before the end would have allowed Servette to tie the game…and it would have gone to a shootout here as well. But if only, would that…
The men’s grand final was also a closely contested match, but in the end, RWW came away with the victory.
