Against Poprad, they confirmed that they knew it and the form was also confirmed by the forward of the “steelmakers” Pavel Klhůfek. With his 30th goal in the season, he adjusted to 1: 1 and did not avoid being teased by his former teammate. “I think it bounced off the goalkeeper of Vošvrd, it hit me in the stomach and from me into the goal. It was an important goal at 1: 1, because if we got a goal at 0: 2, it would be difficult to turn it around,” said Klhůfek.

His jubilee accurate hit, which strengthened his second place in the league scorers, did not escape the attention of Poprad forward Dávid Skokan – last year’s teammate from the Košice team. Before the start of the second period, they had a short dialogue directly on the ice: “David told me I was very lucky to score goals. He probably envies me,” said “Klf” with a smile.
Within the Tipos extra league, it was the sixth confrontation of Poprad with Košice and the “steelworkers” confirmed in it that they know this about this opponent. They won the third match in a row, the fourth out of six. “We play with our hearts and we are rewarded for it. We can probably wake up to Poprad properly and I’m glad for that, because at the beginning of the season we all underestimated us. Now we are in eighth place, but the table is very balanced and I hope we move the matches up. “
The situation from the 29th minute proved to be one of the key moments. After 1 – 1, the captain of the guests, Svitan, had an almost exposed goal after Skokan’s pass, but the goalkeeper Dominik Riečický took his goal with a quick catch.
“Thank you Dominik, he supported us with his interventions in today’s match. However, not only he deserves praise, but the whole team. The boys showed their hearts, blocked the shots and kept Poprad at a distance with a clever game,” noted coach Marcel Šimurda.
The people of Košice followed up on the victories over Banská Bystrica and Michalovce and they are losing three points to the coveted sixth place. “First of all, I want to praise my teammates for winning the previous match. I did not play in Michalovce, Martin Réway did not start, but the boys won and today we confirmed that it was not an accidental shot, but we are really up. (goalkeeper Dominik Riečický, note), defended weaknesses and the fact that it occurred to us. Not for the first time this season we scored 5 goals in Poprad, we are doing well on them. I hope that we will get to the quarterfinals and catch them there. stated by Pavel Klhůfek.
