The juniors achieved a new victory at home

Just before the suspension of the competitions, another round was played in the junior category. Our dragons had a hard time ahead of them, as hockey players from Bled arrived in Tivoli.

In the introductory part of the championship, the team from Bled shone with the victories themselves, but in the last rounds their form dropped a bit. Our Dragons, on the other hand, shook off a bit of the pitch that accompanied them in the opening races after the end of the long Covid-19 break. Somehow the Dragons seemed to enter the duel in better form than the guests. And it really was like that….

The match was tied at the beginning. There were no real opportunities for the first few minutes, and then in the 4th minute, the brothers came to the fore Flys. Žan he slipped into a counterattack where he passed in front of the door to his brother January, who pushed the tile into the net. He earned more in this Žiga mehla. But that first lead unfortunately didn’t last long. A few minutes later, it was our turn to be excluded and the guests quickly took advantage of this. After just a few seconds of playing with the player more, a shot from the blue line followed. The shot was not strong, but it was accurate and uncomfortable and the guests equalized the result. A minute later, a new counterattack by the guests followed and all of a sudden, after the introductory encounter of ours, the guests took the lead with 2: 1. The game calmed down a bit after the opening goals. With a hard game, but without the right opportunities, the game turned into the final part of the first third. Here, however, came a new hit. In the attack, he combined our first attack. Žiga mehla he hired Bruno Kureta. This one slipped in front of the door, but there was no room for action here and he handed the tile to Gregor Žežlja, who skilfully and accurately outscored the visiting goalkeeper. 2: 2 was also the final score after the first third.

Ours also transferred the momentum and energy to the second third. In the 27th minute Tay Petronijevic Lepsa in Jean Flys combined. Jan Flajs however, he scored from close range and our players were in the lead again. The game then continued in a similar rhythm as in the first third, only this time ours were in the lead and the guests were the ones who had to score. And they did. Two minutes before the end of the third, our player was sent off again and the guests took advantage of that very quickly. Again, they were accurate from a distance. The result was tied 3: 3.

Just as our players transferred the moment from the first to the second third, the guests transferred it from the second to the third. Already in the first minute there was a new exclusion on our side and this time the guests took advantage of only a few seconds.

But our players were not confused. It soon came to a kind of equalization. In the next minute, our team slipped with the player more and our team was successful after only a few seconds. On the blue line, they combined Marko Ložar in Mauro Zupanič. Mauro fired a shot towards the goal, Jan Flajs however, on the way to the door he changed the direction of the tile and the result was equal. Just a few minutes after that, the guests had another nice opportunity. In a quick counterattack, our team had no choice but to commit a foul. A penalty shot followed, but it was our goalkeeper Nal Kavčič defended. Here, however, the match slowly began to break in our favor.

A few minutes later, ours played with the player again. For a long time, they combined in the attacking third. Until it is Žiga mehla filed to Gregor Žeželj. This was triggered by a shot that was deflected by the visiting goalkeeper. But he was in place Karlo Marinkovic, who on the other hand hit unhindered into an almost empty net. Our dragons again found themselves in a 5: 4 advantage. In a few minutes we saw a new exclusion on the side of Bled and a new goal on the side of Olimpija. They passed in the attacking third Karlo Marinkovic in Nick Sechen. He remained unhindered in front of the door Tay Petronijevic Lepsa, who scored for a 6: 4 advantage.

The guests, however, have not yet completely surrendered. They attacked on. 7 and a half minutes before the end, they hit our goal frame in a quick counterattack. And that was all. In the end, the guests pressed with the player more in the field and without a goalkeeper. We saw some dangerous shots on our goal, but there was too much nervousness to get new goals and the match ended 6: 4.

In the remaining two matches, Jeseničani beat Slavija 6: 5 after extra time, and Triglav was 5: 4 better than Maribor. Now follows the well-known pause of competitions. The exact dates of the next matches will be known after April 11th.
