Litvínov lost for the first time at home
At the stadium of the leader of the competition from Litvínov, the Spartans succeeded in the 10th round hit 4:2 thanks to a three-goal turnaround in the second period.
Not even the first two extra-league hits of Slovak signing Maxim Čajkovič in his debut in the Czech top flight helped the home team.
In the first 20 minutes, the North Bohemians were more dangerous, they played confidently and quickly, Sparta was traditionally kept by Kořenář in the goal. Gut, Sandberg, and David Kaše didn’t beat him from good chances, even at the stick, Hlava or David Kaše with a backhand.
Prague didn’t even have a power play, they didn’t succeed at all, they shot on goal only five times in the opening half.
When, soon after the first break, the debuting striker Čajkovič won the puck in his own defensive zone, ran down the wing and beat the visiting goalkeeper from the circle, the home team celebrated the lead and the Slovak’s premiership goal in the extra league.
Sparta responded in just two minutes when Hyka pushed the puck past Tomk’s concrete and over the line at the post. Midway through the match, Litvínov was given a power play to shut out Salomäki, but the advantage turned into a disadvantage.
Sparta created three chances in a weakened position and the third ended with a goal, when Kryštof Hrabík made his way from the space between the circles.
The guests were excited, the field was full of them, which Horák converted into the third goal after the renumbering. At the end of the second period, the North Bohemians finished in a slump, and Sparta beat them as if in a power play.
The third period started unluckily for visiting Ton, after a hit from Zile, he had to go to the infirmary shaken. Moments later, Sparta played a long power play, hitting the crossbar once, the stick the second time. And so Litvínov showed her how to use the numerical advantage. Cajkovic’s shot from outside the ring was elusive.
The home team, sprinkled with living water, gave the Praguers a hard time, especially Koblasa, who found himself in good opportunities. In the end, even the power play did not help them, on the contrary, Hyka sealed the victory with an empty net in the last second.
