Třinec – Pardubice 3: 2, Třinec defeated Pardubice and was the first in the season to cross the 100-point mark

Pardubice, which played without a suspended Camara, was more active in shooting in the opening third (13: 5) and in the eighth minute it was separated from the leading goal by centimeters. But Košťálek’s blow from the blue line rang only on the stick. The home team Svačina then narrowly missed after a nice combination of the second close attack and opened the score Říčka with a shot from the left circle. The native of Havířov thus confirmed that he is doing well at Ocelář this season – he scored in all three mutual matches with a balance of 4 + 2.

Třinec threatened only in overpowering games and equalized in the other. Růžička first hit the bar, but in a finished action, after a nice interplay, Captain Vrána pushed through from the pre-goal area.

The roles were reversed in the second period. Although the Pardubice team took the lead from a quick counterattack with a Ciencialy strike after only 38 seconds, the next minutes belonged to the home team. Frodl still shone with real concrete against Chmielewski’s shot into the empty net, but he was already short for the cannon Zbořil from behind the left circle. Bek, who starts thanks to the participation of three Třinec defenders in the Olympic Games, scored his first goal in the extra league.

The defending champion could have reversed the score in the second period if at least one of the trio Nestrašil, Vrána and Kofroň had a more accurate line of sight. The final part was carried in a careful spirit and the match was decided by the exclusion of Petgrave, whose foul was punished by the home team in the match for the second time – Růžička scored with a shot without preparation from his position in the left circle.

Then they took the initiative of Pardubice and forced territorial supremacy. However, it was difficult for them to reach the goal chances and they did not create anything extra even in the final 85 seconds of the game six to four.
