Kováčik’s sad finale in Kometa. Brno left the body suffering from Sparta in the hit
“It is a pity that Jožo is leaving, he was a valid member of the implementation team. But the family comes first and we all understand his decision. The match broke down to our detriment in the second period, when we called and then quickly got a goal, such a haluz, “said Kometa coach Jiří Kalous, adding that he will have fun with the owner Libor Zábranský about the possible addition of the implementation team after Kováčik’s departure.
Sparta in Brno also won with the old-new coach Miloslav Hořava, who added the current head coach Josef Jandač to the substitution, and the goalkeeper number one Alexander Salák stood in the goal for the first time after the injury. “His return helped us, even though he was very risky, because we deployed him practically without training,” said Jandač.
The first goal of the match in Brno was taken care of by the new acquisition of Sparta from Sweden by Maxim Matuškin. With his shot from the blue, he opened the score of the duel in the power play in the fifth minute. Two minutes later, Filip Chlapík pushed through the controversial hitting the puck into the goal from under the concrete of Kometa goalkeeper Lukáš Klimeš. The situation was examined by a video referee and the coach then took an unsuccessful coaching request. “It’s not a criticism, but the referee’s whistle should have sounded before it arrived. From my point of view, the puck was covered, “Kalous remarked.
Kometa erased the two-goal loss when, after half of the match, Kometa captain Martin Zaťovič followed up on Michal Krištof’s shot with a wonderful individual action. A minute later, however, the Spartan bachelor Petr Hašek scalded the exhilarated Brno arena, running a shot from the blue line and returning the lead to the guests. The people of Brno were pushing, but they did not see a settlement. On the other hand, Roman Horák got the guests in the blockbuster in the third period. “It simply came to our notice then. We get unnecessary goals. If you get it a minute after you level, it will affect everyone, “the defender Tomáš Bartejs grumbled. The comet thus enters the national team break up to the eleventh place in the table, where it fell after Litvínov’s victory. The next duel will be played by the people of Brno on November 18 in České Budějovice.
