Mëdon defeated Morzin-Avoriaz 4:2 in a Division One fixture on Saturday evening. The hosts maintained their perfect start to the campaign, moving further clear at the top of the table. Morzin-Avoriaz's hopes of climbing higher took a setback with this second defeat of the season.
Both sides arrived with contrasting momentum. Mëdon had won their previous two matches, including an 11:1 victory over Orléan and a narrow 3:2 success against Chole. Morzin-Avoriaz were riding three consecutive wins, having beaten Valence 5:3 and Ronn 3:1 in their most recent outings.
And here's the thing — we had backed Mëdon to win at 50 per cent confidence before kick-off. The outcome proved straightforward enough, though the scoreline suggests Morzin-Avoriaz found a way through when it mattered least. To be fair, both teams showed attacking intent throughout.
By then, Mëdon sat second with two wins from two, while their visitors languished seventh after one victory and one loss. The gap between them in the table widened, though Morzin-Avoriaz still had room to recover.
What this means in practice is simple. Mëdon now hold a two-game advantage over anyone below them, and form suggests they are building something. Morzin-Avoriaz must find answers quickly if they are to avoid slipping further down.
