Litvínov – Hradec Králové 3: 4, Hradec Králové celebrates a close win in a match full of twists and turns. Smoleňák and Perret shone

After 25 seconds, Captain Smoleňák took care of the ideal entry of the guests into the match, who used the space in front of the Litvínov goal and found an ideal place to finish.

The home crowd cheered when, after 6 minutes, Stehlík’s charge up the middle resulted in the keeper making one of his best saves of the day. Verva managed to cope only in the middle of the first period, when Irving’s shot from the blue line of Straka flowed in the power play.

After several promising chances on both sides, the score changed for the third time in the 25th minute, when the East Bohemians left Zdráhal completely free, who scored the fifth goal of the season after a shot to the post.

The guests, in whose line-up the six-year-old forward Šimek scored his extra-league debut, subsequently added, but neither Lalancette’s nor Klíma’s chances ended with a goal. In numerical advantage, Litvínov was able to increase its leadership. The home team was unable to get into the offensive zone at all for a minute, but then Estephan got to the shot and aimed precisely.

In the 32nd minute, however, Hradec Králové decreased with luck, when Perret’s apparently blocked shooting attempt flew over Godla in the Litvínov goal. Mountfield, who eliminated Litvínov in the preliminary round of the playoffs last season, pushed for a tie and the home team kept a particularly attentive Godl.

But the North Bohemians were punished for their passivity. In the 47th minute, Smoleňák equalized with luck and 82 seconds later, Perret finished the turn quickly. The guests then did not use two power games, but they did not have to be sorry. Litvínov could not equalize even in the long power play and in the fifth home match of the season they could not score in full.
