Václav Varaďa, a coach from Třinec, evaluated the fourth duel similarly. He, too, logically described the first half of the second period as a key passage, when Sparta scored three goals and the victory and comparison of the series came significantly closer.

“We didn’t do very well in the match. We scored cheap goals in the second period. Our game performance improved from the second half, we finished the Sparta player. Everything broke at the chance of Miloš Roman (in the 44th minute), who could withdraw the difference one goal and we still have plenty of time to compare. But today Sparta was a better team, “said Varaďa.

The inflected name in the fourth duel was Tomáš Šmerha, who scored the second goal and passed the next two. “He played very well. He scored an important goal and he helped us a lot today. It is important that it spread to all five goals,” said Jandač.

In the second goal, Šmerha used Mikuláš Zbořil’s careless passes through the air to the middle of the defensive zone. “It was his individual fault. No one will yell at him, but he knows he fell for it. He should have handled the situation differently.”

Now the series is moving to Třinec, where a key fifth match will be played on Tuesday, which will be awarded a match by one of the teams. “Třinec has an experienced team, it has been playing for the title for four years in a row. We have five or seven players who are tasting the playoffs for the first time,” says Jandač. “It’s 2: 2, we have potentially two matches at home. Before the series, I said it would be a long final and today it was again about one goal,” said Varaďa.
