Positive without a chance, Motor takes three points

Olomouc stepped on the champion

Třinec started the match on the Olomouc field better, when he was put in the lead in the 5th minute by Slovak striker Buček.

The Steelers managed to react when Kurovský equalized at 2:2. However, even this did not help the reigning champions. Navrátil scored the winning goal 95 seconds before the end of the third period, then confirmed the victory of the Roosters with a goal into an empty net with his second Kusko goal.

Not even Hradec stopped Sparta

Playing comfortably, Sparta wanted to confirm their form in front of their own fans against Hradec Králové. After a scoreless opening period, Krejčík cheered up the O2 arena in a power play, but the visitors managed to react quickly thanks to Okuliar’s strike. Prague took the lead for the second time in the 28th minute, when Kiviaho was not enough to block Řepík’s shot.
