Bílí Tygři Liberec
Saturday 23.08.2014, 17:45 • LANXESS arena • Champions League
     
    First two gamedays of Group A are done and finnish champion Kärpät Oulu sits in first plays with 6 points. Liberec and Köln each have 3 points while winless Kosice sits at the bottom of the standings. (20:39:26)
     
    Liberec with a well-deserved win here in Köln. The game started out with both teams on the offense trading big chances and getting a goal each in the first period. Vampolas second period shorthander stands as the game-winner and he scored another one on the powerplay. Bulirs 4-1 took the air out of Köln and Liberec relied on a very good defensive effort in the third period.

    And whenever a spot is open Liberec still has Schwarz and his glove. He catches another shot by Krupp after a nice pass from behind the net by Marcel Müller.
     
    55:09
    Just under five minutes left in this Group A matchup and it does't look like Köln has any more ideas to turn it around. Liberec plays very smart with the three-goal-lead on their hands.
    Attendance in Köln is over 4000 fans, will the same number visit the next home game of Liberec?
     
    53:27
    Liberec is back at full strength.
     
    51:53
    What a save by Schwarz! Minard has a wide open net from some distance but the Liberec goalie dives for the puck and clears it with his stick in the air.
     
    51:27
    Penalty against Liberecs Tomas Bulik for holding the stick.
     
    49:10
    Köln is still trying to get another goal, but Liberec plays a good defensive game and keeps the front of their net pretty much clear.
     
    47:20
    Haie fans won't give up on their team and cheer them on but it really doesn't look good for Köln. Liberec is playing with all the confidence.
     
    45:27
    Goal for Liberec!
    Czechs are on the attack. MICHAL BULIR is all alone in the slot, gets the perfect pass and it's 4-1 Liberec.

    Gogulla one-times it from the left but misses the goal by just a bit.

    Martin Bartek with the lone break-away, aus den Birken makes a huge save for Köln to keep his team in this game.
     
    42:07
    Haie with pressure again. A rebound bounces to the slot but nobody is there. Liberec can clear the puck away.
     
    41:12
    Kölns defender Zerressen with the first shot of the period from the right point but he misses.
     
    40:01
    Start of 3rd period.
     
    Third period will start at 19:31
     
    It's 3-1 for Liberec after two periods of play and the guests took over around the middle of the period. Before Köln tried to control the game a bit more but couldn't convert on their chances. Vampola then scored shorthanded on a rebound and after that the czech team took control. 22 seconds before the buzzer Vampola netted another rebound, this time on the powerplay.
