The second win, again for two points, is celebrated in their third appearance in the Champions League by Sparta hockey players. The Prague team turned the score against the Swedish Växjö, which they defeated 2: 1 in overtime thanks to goals by Vladimír Sobotka and David Kaše. The Praguers are third after playing half of the basic group, losing three points to the leader Växjö, two to Bremerhaven. On Sunday, a domestic duel against the last TPS Turku awaits them.

Sparta, whose team lacked slightly injured defenders Polášek with Jandus and a cold Swedish striker Erik Thorell, was caught in the first period by a pass. In addition, she made huge mistakes with her, so she could be glad that she only lost by a goal. Växjö took home three opportunities and in the 15th minute, thanks to the fall of the arriving Lundberg, he took the lead.
From the middle part of the game, however, the image of the game and the home team had an overwhelming advantage in places, which documents the ratio of shots to a goal of 21: 3. Of the many attempts, however, he overcame Kalnin only in the immediate vicinity of Sobotka.

A counterattack by Calof after 58 minutes could have resulted in a goal, but Calof, coming in on the left, couldn’t get the shot off. It was decided only in overtime, when Sparta was shot by an extra point David Kaše with a shot between the concrete.
