Marek Matejčík helped Vítkovice succeed with three points for a goal and two assists, and Mikuláš Krbec had the same balance for the losers.
“It’s a feeling of happiness. It’s such a satisfaction. I returned to Vítkovice and it’s my first trophy after my return. I have to praise the whole team,” said Matejčík, who headed back to Ostrava the year after three years in Chodov in Prague.
The tactical duel was without goals for a long time and the score changed only 26 seconds before the end of the first period, when after Matejčík’s pass, Adam Delong ended up in the open goal with the help of his foot and stick.
After 160 seconds of the second part, the Slovenian forward Robert Košir equalized, who headed from the half to the left post of Lukáš Souček.
“It’s a pity the first period, when we weren’t completely in the match. It went up over time. It just confirms the fact that such a match has to be played for sixty minutes. Sad emotions prevail, but from a distance we’ll look at it as a relatively good match, “said Lukáš Ujhelyi.
In the 33rd minute, Matejčík got the ball for the Spartan goalkeeper Martin Beneš, but it was a foot, so the goal did not pay.
At 36:25, however, Vítkovice was leading again. Although Beneš threw Martin Gattnar after throwing Jiří Besta, he eventually scored more than twice from the finish.
After 68 seconds of the final part, the Ostravans were helped by Beneš’s mistake, the goalkeeper did not manage to kick the ball out of the big goal area and Adam Zubek easily scored into an empty goal.
In the 43rd minute, with the exclusion of Šimon Hataji, Lukáš Ujhelyi reduced, but in 166 seconds, the Praguers left Vítkovice from the corner in front of the goal of the free Best, who turned Matejčík’s pass.
In the middle of the third period, in the next power play, Sparta got in touch again with his second goal in the match, the Slovak Ujhelyi, but in 87 seconds, Matejčík caught Beneš’s throw and adjusted to 5: 3 with a quick shot after processing.
Sparta still drew hope in the time of 58:07 Krbec, who again reduced the difference in goal during the power-play. However, Matyáš Šindler sealed the result in an empty goal across the entire field.
“Every trophy counts and we are very happy that it came out. It was after a very good performance, so deservedly. Now we will go a long way to Ostrava and I think it will be quite lively on the bus,” Vítček goalkeeper Souček was looking forward to the celebrations.
The sovereigns of the domestic scene averted the first loss in the competition season 15 seconds before the end of the third period and in the time of 49:41 the captain of the Ostravanek Denisa Ferenčíková decided with the second goal in the match.
“I think we started the match well. We had a lot of chances and Chodov was under pressure, but in the second period there was satisfaction and we started to play a bit passively. We thought we would do everything in the third period, we will level the match, and I think “We believed that we succeeded. We believed in the last second that we would give it,” Ferenčíková said after a turn of 0: 2.
In the duel, played as the entire cup season in the women’s category for 3 x 15 minutes, the opening goal was expected to be 24:34.
Chodov rejoiced, who at the end of the introductory part did not use the power play to exclude Jana Trošková and the score was opened by the flowing shots of Marie Havlíčková Markéta Prontekerová.
In 70 seconds, the Prague team had a two-goal lead, and this time in a power play for the foul of goalkeeper Viktoria Karasová, they already took advantage of the numerical advantage. After Kristýna Lechnerová’s attempt, Vanessa Rebecca Keprtová prevailed.
Jana Christianová also capitulated in the 36th minute when she fired a shot by Barbora Husková, but the ball was knocked down by Slovenka Ferenčíková.
Vítkovice, which holds invincibility in the extra league for 62 duels, forced an extra time thanks to a spotted Husková shot.
“I knew they would expect to shoot from the first, so I worked the ball, I went to the exit and I fired it there. I don’t even know how it flew there. I saw the girls rejoicing, so it was clear to me that it flew there, “said Husková.
Ferenčíková decided in overtime with a shot from the left mantinel and Ostravanka defeated Chodov in the same way as in the June extra-league superfinal, when they won 8: 7 in overtime at the UNYP Arena in Prague.
“At first I didn’t believe it fell there. I tried to aim at the back pole a bit on my leg, because I knew there was room. Then I only saw the emotions of the other players and I started to rejoice,” Ferenčíková described.
“The evaluation is difficult now because the emotions are fresh. I would say that we played a dignified match, but it occurred to me that Vítkovice was a bit better. I guess that’s the winning mentality they have. There are players who go on the field “That they will decide. That they will send the shot and it will be a goal. We have to be better at that, I think we still miss it a bit,” said goalkeeper Chodova Christianová.
