For the people of Novozámčany, it was the second victory in the third match in the ongoing season 2021/2022. They are still in the penultimate 11th place in the table, but they are only losing two points at the 10th Prešov. The people of Košice are still in the 5th place.

Bronze medalists from the Beijing Olympics Juraj Slafkovský and Tomáš Jurčo took care of the honorary bullfights of the match. They barely settled in the stands and the home team lost. The top scorer of Šiška was able to score the 0 – 1 goal after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper following some good play down the right wing after 40 minutes. The home team responded with a chance of Klhůfek, who did not reach his desired end. The people of Košice did not manage to get into the pace, in the first third they made several mistakes, after which the guests got to breaks. The newcomers also resisted two weaknesses, during which the “steelworkers” had pressure, but without a moment of surprise. Before the end of the first period, the Košice coach collected a shot with a puck, which flew to the substitute.

The first break did not take over the Košice team from the matte performance and the guests sensed a chance for further goals. In the 24th minute, they had a 42-second overtime for two players, during which they closed the opponent and already during the game of five against four, Kozák’s shot was played by Langkow – 0: 2. By the time the guests took advantage of the weak emphasis of the home team in front of the goalkeeper Košarišťan and Ondrušek offered Mišiak a goal, it was already 0: 3. Riečický then entered the goal of the Košice family. Newcomers were still offensive, but neither Barto nor Šiška took promising chances. In the 31st minute, the defender Novota released Slovák in the middle zone, who with an accurate shot overcame Bakalu from a greater distance and adjusted to 1: 3.

In the 42nd minute, the defender Saucerman reduced the difference to a single goal (2: 3), but the guests did not panic and still deftly defended the close lead. The pucks were promptly exported from their own zone and were also dangerous in the offensive. In the 46th minute, they had a power play combination with the end of Šiška, which with his 19th goal in the season increased to 4: 2 for the guests. In the 56th minute, Volgin got a hopeful chance, but he shot the visitors’ goal and shortly afterwards the Slovak was not successful from the escape. In the 57th, the Košice team got to the game without a goalkeeper, during which they settled in the zone several times, but the guests did not allow them a dangerous goal opportunity. Jackson scored the score with a shot into the empty net – 2: 5.
