Ice hockey players Amsterdam Tigers quickly fell behind and remain the leader
The Amsterdam Tigers won 7-3 against their direct competitor Leeuwarden Capitals tonight. It was tense for a long time in the Jaap Edenhal, but in the end won against the team from Amsterdam.
The match started all in favor for the capitals. Set after a little over a minute of play. The Tigers struggled to get into their game in the opening phase. Still, captain Calvin Pohlman leveled his team halfway through the first period.
Just under five minutes later, the team from Amsterdam fell behind again. The discontent was clearly audible from the reserve bench. Michael Mackie Kwist and Nijs Hille reassured the coaches again. Both favorably score a goal, there with a result can be.
Stylish Czech
In the second period, Amsterdam got more control over the game. They did concede a goal, but goals from Alexander Karol, Donny Pohlman and a stylish goal from Czech Pet Novák quickly brought the game to a close: 6-3.
”In the end I’m happy with the three points”
In the last period of the game, coach Ondrej Kratky’s team ran out to 7-3. The Czech coach had after some experiences. “The start was not ideal, but we came into our game. During the period, the boys showed what I would like to see. Third, I am happy with the three points,” said Kratky.
Captain Pohlman was also satisfied afterwards. “We eventually made it to the finish line. That is the most important thing. It was lacking and too sharp. Then you get a quick goal against. Fortunately, we had the capacity to turn that around.”
Leader
The team from Amsterdam is the leader of the competition with 21 points. Direct competitor Tilburg will play against Utrecht tomorrow. In the event of a win, the Brabanters will be level with the Tigers.
On Monday, NH Sport will show a report about two Czechs at the team from Amsterdam.
