Semifin\u00e1le Tipsport ligy medzi Nitrou a Popradom pokra\u010duje v najbli\u017e\u0161iu sobotu jeho piatou \u010das\u0165ou, v\u00a0ktorej sa u\u017e m\u00f4\u017ee rozhodn\u00fa\u0165 o prvom finalistovi prebiehaj\u00faceho ro\u010dn\u00edka.<\/p>\n
Atrakt\u00edvna s\u00e9ria sa vracia pod Zobor za stavu 3:1, oba z\u00e1pasy na \u013eade s\u00fapera sme zvl\u00e1dli a polo\u017eili tak z\u00e1klad \u00faspechu v ceste za postupom do fin\u00e1le. K\u00a0naplneniu tohto cie\u013ea v\u0161ak ch\u00fdba posledn\u00fd krok, ktor\u00fd ani tentokr\u00e1t ur\u010dite nebude jednoduch\u00fd.<\/p>\n
Prv\u00fd duel na \u013eade s\u00fapera sa niesol vo vyrovnanom duchu, nerozhodlo sa v riadnom hracom \u010dase ani v pred\u013a\u017een\u00ed, nasledovali tak samostatn\u00e9 n\u00e1jazdy. Tie priniesli dr\u00e1mu, no ve\u013ea g\u00f3lov v\u00a0nich nepadlo. Hne\u010f prv\u00fd pokus premenil Cracknell, na \u010fa\u013e\u0161ieho \u00faspe\u0161n\u00e9ho strelca sa \u010dakalo a\u017e do \u0161tvrtej s\u00e9rie, kedy sa presadil Passolt. Piata s\u00e9ria g\u00f3l nepriniesla, poradie sa tak oto\u010dilo, puk si na svoje hokejky zobrali obaja \u00faspe\u0161n\u00ed strelci. Zatia\u013e \u010do Josh Passolt prekonal Parksa aj druh\u00fd raz, Adamovi Cracknellovi sa sk\u00f3rova\u0165 nepodarilo, \u010do znamenalo zisk druh\u00e9ho bodu.<\/p>\n
V druhom dueli sme do z\u00e1pasu nevst\u00fapili dobre, Poprad viedol v 14. min\u00fate 2:0. K obratu zavelil v z\u00e1vere prvej tretiny Sebasti\u00e1n \u010cederle, v druhej dvadsa\u0165min\u00fatovke na neho nadviazali traja \u010fal\u0161\u00ed hr\u00e1\u010di, po presn\u00fdch z\u00e1sahoch Jacksona, Hrnku a Lawrenca sme oto\u010dili stav stretnutia. V\u00a0tretej \u010dasti duelu sa Popradu podarilo dvakr\u00e1t zn\u00ed\u017ei\u0165, no v\u00a0presilovej hre sa presadil aj Samuel Bu\u010dek, vyrovnanie sme tak nepripustili a\u00a0z\u00edskali sme tret\u00ed bod v\u00a0s\u00e9rii.<\/p>\n

Poprad\u010dania vyslali na br\u00e1nku Nitry v\u00a0\u0161tyroch stretnutiach 145 striel, na g\u00f3l premenili dvan\u00e1s\u0165 z\u00a0nich, \u010do je 8,28 % \u00faspe\u0161nos\u0165 stre\u013eby. Na\u0161i hokejisti vystrelili na s\u00faperovu br\u00e1nku 140-kr\u00e1t, zaznamenali 14 presn\u00fdch z\u00e1sahov, \u010do predstavuje streleck\u00fa \u00faspe\u0161nos\u0165 na \u00farovni 10 %.<\/p>\n

K\u00a0stomin\u00fatovej hranici sa bl\u00ed\u017ei Martin Bod\u00e1k, ktor\u00fd v\u00a0\u0161tyroch z\u00e1pasoch str\u00e1vil na \u013eade 99 min\u00fat.<\/p>\n
Na oboch stran\u00e1ch sme medzi troma \u017e\u0155dkami mohli vidie\u0165 dvoch brank\u00e1rov, Filipa Bel\u00e1nyiho po\u010das pred\u013a\u017eenia v\u00a0tre\u0165om z\u00e1pase striedal z\u00a0d\u00f4vodu zranenia Tyler Parks, ktor\u00fd odchytal aj \u0161tvrt\u00fd duel.
