Fourth meeting between Lausanne and Langnau to found the twelfth team for next year's LNA. And with Lausanne victory (3-1), the LNB team provides three match puck for one place in LNA. 

Everything was decided in the last third of a closed meeting between the two teams. But as in their two successes, Lausanne have found the key to pass Langnau.

Lausanne expected to see a recovery by Langnau as a result of the coach chage and the arrival of the legendary Jakob Kölliker. 

The former defender from Biel, and German's coach made some changes, including returning of Mark Popovic replacing the top scorer Mclean. The target was to see Langnau defense in better plan then last three games. But a goal at minute eight by Swiss national player Thomas Deruns trow Langnau hopes away. Even if Langnau was more dangerous in this game then the three others, home team never panicked and the victory offers no doubts. 

In case of victory Saturday night Lausanne could imitate his twin team in Sweden(Leksand) and comeback to LNA nine years later.
