Sparta is in the Champions League for the fifth time and its maximum is the final participation in the 2016/17 season, when she just eliminated the Swedish team from Växjö in the semifinals. But this time it failed. In the first and second period, she collected in the weakening after the shots of Olle Lycksell and Julius Nättinen, another chance for the Lakers was solved by the attentive Alexander Salák. The Prague team managed to prevail only once – in the time of 59:54 the team captain Michal Řepík hit the game without the goalkeeper.
The match with Växjö was spicy for striker Roman Horák. Last summer, the 30-year-old center headed for the people of Prague from Växjö, where he spent two seasons. The other two rivals of the Prague team in the group are TPS Turku and German Bremerhaven.
