Sparta’s fasting ended in the 27th minute really symbolically. It was the goal scorer Roman Horák, who was the last scorer for Prague. He made his mark on Friday against Olomouc in the 55th minute.
On Sunday, Sparta Kometa did not score a goal. “That it fell on me is probably luck,” Horák, who had a hand in all three of Sparta’s hits (1+2), smiled after the match.

The improved productivity of the now best attack in the league (29 goals) was not evidenced by the course of the match against Vítkovice for a long time. Although Sparta had the upper hand in the first period, Vítkovice, defending honestly, struck from a rare chance in the 16th minute, when Mikliš failed to guard the running Chlán in front of the goal. The Vítkovice striker is in form, scoring the third goal in the last two matches.

“We didn’t score a goal against Brno and today it was a bit obvious that we were struggling,” Sparta coach Pavel Gross admitted. However, his team increased their skating from the second period and increased the pressure in the middle zone. Among other things, it won the home team a power play, from which Horák equalized. His formation with Kestner and Kousal on the wings also had other chances, and it was the latter who turned the score around in the 37th minute after a mistake by the guests.
In the first minute of the 3rd period, Sparta added a third goal and controlled the course of the match without much difficulty until the 58th minute, when the guests, playing without the American Peter Mueller, resorted to a game without a goalkeeper, in which Kalus gave them hope. “Perhaps it was a little bit short and with a bit of luck we could still win a point. The boys’ effort and fighting spirit cannot be denied, but Sparta deservedly won,” acknowledged Vítkovic’s assistant coach Radek Philipp.
