“That goal didn’t put us down. I told the boys that if they put everything into it, they would win. We put everything into it and we won,” said Třinec coach Václav Varaďa after the 7: 3 victory about Kacetl’s mistake.

But back to the goalkeeper. Last January, just like on Tuesday, Němeček caught another Spartan, Milan Jurčina equalized at 4: 4. In December, Peter Čerešňák from Pilsen surprised him again from a distance, securing a 3: 2 win 13 seconds before the end. And now, in the third place, a blow came from David Němeček’s own defensive zone, the trajectory of which he changed halfway through.

“I saw a player on Wednesday, I wanted to give it to him. But I got a little upset, a run came, the puck swam and fell there,” Němeček said after the match. After his shot, he aimed to substitute and only when he saw the raised hands of his teammates did he understand that he managed to equalize at 1: 1.

At the substitution, the teammates then remembered the aforementioned goal of Jurčina and the thrown Kacetl tried to “arrive” by more frequent shooting. “But it certainly wasn’t like we thought we’d shoot it all over the field before the match. It would be one of a hundred throws. We wanted to shoot in the offensive zone from the blue line. So our second goal and third fell.” said German.

The goalkeepers have disappeared from the scene for the third time!

Kacetl was visibly scattered, uncertain. But Sparta also bought mistakes and failed to take advantage of his bad day. In fact, she tended to solve her goalkeeper, because even Július Hudáček did not turn into a bulletproof wall, so both goalkeepers were replaced in the second period. It is a little-seen thing for the first two goalkeepers to disappear from the scene, however, in the mutual duels of Třinec and Sparta, this happened for the third time this season!

And above all, Marek Mazanec from Třinec acted excellently during his “stand-by”, because he did not collect even once. Did you ask for a place for Thursday’s sixth match? “There will be a goalkeeper who I am convinced will close it. And if he doesn’t close it, the other one will go there and he will want to close it. That’s the way it is in sports,” said Václav Varaďa.
–
And the Spartan coach Josef Jandač also remained mysterious, as is the case in the playoffs. Asked if he already knew who would catch the sixth game, he said, “I know.” He smiled at the complementary question of who it would be, thanked him for the interview, and left.
