Sparta won in Pardubice and ousted Dynamo from the top of the extra league
Sparta hockey players won 3:0 in the overtime of the 32nd round of the extra league on the ice of Pardubice and knocked Dynamo out of first place in the table. On the contrary, they themselves moved to fourth place. The highest competition is now dominated by Vítkovice, who won in Pilsen.
The people of Prague in the east of Bohemia succeeded for the second time in the event, with Jakub Kovář probably taking the sixth clean sheet. Vladimír Sobotka scored the goal and the assist.
Coach Radim Rulík returned to the Dynamo bench after returning from the Junior World Championship. His team already played a power play in the 2nd minute, but the guests had the best chance when Konečný escaped in a weakened position. But goalkeeper Will managed to finish it off.
The home players then created a lot of pressure, but even Kovář did not cash in. After Zohorna’s shot, the puck bounced off Sparta’s goalkeeper just outside the goal. At the end of the first period, Adam Musil or Vondráček could score
At the beginning of the second period, Dynamo did not use the power play again, and a penalty came right after. In the 24th minute, Sobotka won the puck at the goalpost, drove in front of Will and finished successfully. Before long, the guests were in a three-on-one situation, but they did not add another goal.
The Prague team had more shooting attempts in this section of the match, the tight situation lasted thanks to Will, who covered Tomek’s shot with a catch. The home team could have equalized in a weakened state, but Zohorn failed to equalize after Kousal’s pass. In the deadlock of the power play, the lone German then added the second goal for Sparta after the Vitouch action.
The home team could react right at the beginning of the third part, but behind Kovář the only sound was the goal structure. Moments later, the visitors settled in the offensive zone in the power play and hit the ice shortly after Zohorna’s return. After a turn, Kaše found Řepík in front of the goal, who made it 3:0 from Sparta’s point of view.
The guests maintained comfortable contact until the end of the match and goalkeeper Kovář kept a clean sheet. Sparta did not concede in the second game in a row.
