Dominant throughout the first period, the Angevins saw the match tip over in less than ten minutes in the second, Tuesday 27 October in Chamonix.
On Tuesday 27 October, on the ice at Chamonix, the Ducs d'Angers held their hosts at bay for much of the contest before collapsing. The first period had been in their favour, with clear territorial control and a willingness to impose their game that left little room for the Savoyards.
The second period, however, changed the complexion of the match. In just under ten minutes, the visitors suffered a series of defensive lapses that allowed Chamonix back into the game and then ahead. The sequence, both brutal and rapid, left Angers without an immediate answer.
The final score of 4-1 reflects a contest that became unbalanced late on, even if the Angevins' first-period performance offers grounds for satisfaction. Sustaining a constant level of intensity over sixty minutes remains the central question for the coaching staff after this defeat.
Chamonix, for their part, made the most of their opponents' mistakes to turn the match around and secure a victory that carries weight in the momentum of the season. The two sides will meet again on a calendar where every point will count in the standings.
For the Ducs d'Angers, the lesson is clear: consistency must take precedence over occasional bursts of dominance. The mood in the dressing room and preparation for the next fixture will determine whether this Savoyard evening remains a setback or a sign of a more lasting difficulty.
