Chamonix Mont-Blanc — Amiens: 6:5, Ligue Magnus

Chamonix Mont-Blanc saw off Amiens 6:5 in the Magnus League on Thursday evening. The home side ground out the win after a game that swung from end to end. To be fair, both teams came out looking to attack from the first whistle.

Chamonix had already tasted defeat against Gap before this one, so the pressure was on them early. By then they were two games in with a win and a loss under their belt. The visitors had dropped both of theirs and were feeling the pinch.

And here's the thing — we had called for the hosts to win, though our confidence sat at forty-nine percent. Not a safe bet, but the result backed that up. What changed was Chamonix's edge in the final moments, something they had lacked in earlier outings.

Amiens had come off losses to Nîmes and Düsseldorf, so this match carried weight for both sides. The home crowd roared them on through a tense afternoon. Neither team switched off at the back, which kept things open.

Both teams now sit level on zero points after two games, though Chamonix's single win puts them above Amiens in the table. The gap remains tight at this stage of the season. What matters more than the standings is whether either side can string results together.
