    Ladies and gentleman, goodbye from Kosice in this season of CHL. It was a pleasure for me to report these matches, hope to meet next season! Have a great evening! (19:50:28)
     
    The game is finished! Kosice won 4-3 against Koln and is taking the third place in group A! Home team was better in this game, Kosice was more active and the victory is deserved. Koln now needs to focus on home league, where is German team playing in bad performance. Kosice are happy about the winning, fans are now thanking to their players. It was an interesting evening in Steel Arena, Chamions Hockey League definitely took the place in heart of Kosice´s hockey fans!

    Muller took the puck into the offense zone, tried to pass teammate on the left side, but his pass was inaccurate. No shot against Melichercik!

    Two minutes remaining to the end of third period! Game is now taking place mostly in neutral zone, Koln can not make a big pressure against the home team.
     
    57:22
    Koln is in full strenght, German team can think about equaliser now! There are more than 2 minutes remaining to the end of the match.
     
    57:21
    Janosik could decide this match! That was a beautiful power-play combination, Spilar got the puck to the right circle and passed in between circles to Janosik, Stefaniszin saved his shot with left pad in the last moment!
     
    56:28
    Game is taking place mostly in neutral zone, but this is fine for Kosice, it needs to defend a tight lead. 30 seconds of power-play are remaining now.
     
    55:39
    Kosice needs to get time, which is now remaining to the end of third period. Home team is successful in this, playing really carefully without any mistakes.

    Big complication for guests! There is going to be a power-play for Kosice – John Tripp gets minor penalty for interference!

    Well, the fight for third place in group A will continue in last minutes. Koln feels the chance after the contact goal, its action was now stopped by offside.

    54:12
    Goal for Köln!
    It will be a drama in the end of the match! Power-play of Koln results into the important goal – DANIEL TJERNQVIST had a space at the blue line, sent a great snap-shot and directly hit the right upper corner – 4:3! Without assistance.
     
    53:04
    That wasn´t a good start of power-play for Koln. Guests won the face-off, but didn´t sent any shot against Melichercik. Then, Kosice got the puck and shot it through all lines.
     
    52:48
    One of the last chances for Koln – the power-play! Martin Strbak gets minor penalty for tripping.
