    Game is over. Thanks to a really good game in the third period and one goal in PK and second one in PP, Farjestad gets three points and leads the group with six points in total. (16:49:50)
     
    Game over.
     
    59:58
    Icing Farjestad.
     
    59:23
    Farjestad with the puck now near the empty not. But not in a scoring position.
     
    58:58
    Novotny on the bench, Sparta in the offensive zone!
     
    58:45
    Home team timeout.
     
    58:05
    And another Netik's one-timer.
     
    58:00
    LAst two minutes in the third period and Netik's one-timer almost made it in the net! It was so close!
     
    57:15
    Icing call against Sparta.
     
    56:53
    The game is mainly in the neutral zone. Farjestad doesn't allow Sparta to make it in the zone.
     
    55:20
    Sparta looks quite harmless. Although Hlinka&co. are trying, their attemps aren't somehow dangerous.
     
    54:04
    And where it the Sparta's leading now? After PK Farjestad scored also in PP and has one-goal-advantage. The arena is quite quiet now.
     
    53:35
    Goal for Färjestad!
    Great ping pong combination by Farjestad. Gulas on Nilsson, Nilsson on PER ASLUND who just gently tipped the puck in Novotny's net. Assists: Marcus Nilsson, Milan Gulas.
     
    53:11
    And it's Hlinka again who is awarded with two minutes penalty. This time for hooking.
     
    53:03
    Farjestad is playing couple of seconds in advantage. Penalty is coming against one Sparta's player.
     
    52:04
    Now Enok in front of Novotny, but also didn't succeeded.
     
    51:03
    Eminger with a shot from the blue line, but missed the net.
     
    49:59
    Although John Persson was under pressure, he still had enough space to send a dangerous attemp on Novotny.
     
    49:22
    Sparta slo with five skaters on the ice.
     
    49:15
    Today's attendance is 2962.
     
    48:52
    But no serious attemp is coming from the visitors in their short PP.
     
    48:26
    Farjestad is playing in full strenght as Nygren is on the ice.
     
    47:22
    And FBK can get into the leading now as Hlinka gets two minutes for triping.
    46:39 Linus PERSSON - 1:1
     
    46:39
    Goal for Färjestad!
    How easy hockey can be..LINUS PERSSON skated right behind the blueline a fired a blaster. Novotny maybe should have had it. Moreover it was a goal in PK. Assist: Joakim Nygard.
     
    46:26
    Moreover Nygren gets two minutes penalty for dealying the game.
     
    46:26
    It's not that catching game so far in this period. Moreover we've seen only three shots, all from FBK.
     
    44:52
    After Hlinka's good pass Uher was in a breakaway situation, but wasn't fast enough and got caught with one FBK's defenceman.
     
    44:00
    Now Gulas with a good attemp. Novotny saves this atcion with a top of his left pad.
     
    43:08
    After Ryno's long shot from the left, Novotny makes easy save and covers the puck somewhere in his jersey.
     
    42:57
    And now Farjestad with icing.
     
    42:27
    FBK now with an offside. Faceoff in the neutral zone.
     
    41:36
    Farjestad starts this period with pressure. Not a big one though, but still plays beter than Sparta.
     
    40:35
    Svensson with a one-time from the left missing the net with couple of centimeters.
     
    40:01
    Start of 3rd period.
     
    Next period begins at 16:14.
     
    Stats of the first period
    Shots: 13 – 11
    PIM: 2 – 6
     
    Second period is over. We saw lot of powe plays, but no goal. Although both team have more shots, they weren't that dangerous like in the first period.
     
    40:00
    2nd period finished.
     
    39:49
    Fighting for the puck along the boardings, ut nothing else is coming in this period.
     
    39:00
    Last minute of the second period.
     
    38:41
    Finally now is something happenning on the ice. But Eminger's slap shot went wide.
     
    37:55
    It's not the best part of this game. No serious shots are coming, both teams are just skating side to side.
     
    36:19
    Prochazka sent the puck on Haugen who didn't catch. And it was a chance for Cingel for a rebound. But Farjestad's defence was quick enough around Sparta's forward.
     
    35:26
    Cingel in a breakaway situation. But his shot went high of the net.
     
    34:59
    Gulas sent the puck on the second post where was enough space, but missed it with couple of centimeters.
     
    33:37
    Svrcek with a one-timer right after the faceoff. Haugen saves it with his left pad.
     
    33:27
    Also Klimek's effort didn't bring any result.
     
    32:10
    Holos shots from blue line, Gulas tries it to rebound the puck in the net. But Novotny was long enough to find the puck in front of him and send it behind the net.
     
    31:29
    Tollefsen on ice. Sparta had maybe one or two shot in the PP.
     
    31:06
    Also this PP from Sparta isn't the most dangerous.
     
    30:24
    But it was Farjestad who had the biggest chance in this PP. Gulas's shot from the left ended somewhere in Novotny's pads.
     
    29:29
    Another chance for Sparta. Tollefsen gets two minutes penalty for roughing.
     
    29:04
    But it ends now as Eriksson-Ek is already on the ice.
     
    28:49
    Finally now Sparta with a pressure.
     
    28:19
    Sparta still struggles with staying in front of Haugen longer time. Farjestad plays really good in defence in this PK.
     
    27:35
    Hlinka¨s bad pass sends Sparta from the offensive zone.
     
    27:04
    And another penalty. Joel Eriksson-Ek gets two minute penalty for slashing. Third PP for Sparta.
     
    26:16
    But also Sparta with five skaters.
     
    25:37
    Short PP for Farjestad starts now.
     
    25:29
    Netik was holding the puck on the blue line that long, that Hlinka didn't stay in the neutral zone and caused offside.
     
    25:00
    No Gulas with an attemp, but Novotny covers the puck in his pads.
     
    24:47
    Sparta plays better in 4 on 4 game. Farjestad is under pressure.
     
    24:16
    But Sparta's PP lasted only 39 seconds. Lukas Klimek gets two minutes penalty for interference.
     
    23:37
    Alexander Johansson gets two minutes penalty for interference. Second PP for Sparta.
     
    23:37
    Hlinka has a good shooting position but made it even better with a pass on Netik. But instead of shot, Netik sent the puck on Svrcek who didn't expect it and let the puck go to the neutral zone.
     
    22:54
    Ihnacak tried it individually from the left side right in front of Haugen, but Farjestad¨s defence did a good job.
     
    22:27

    Sparta witn icing unable to get from itw defensive zone.
     
    20:44
    Although one FBK pplayer lost the puck in the offensive zone, Swedish team was able to continue in pressure.
     
    20:10
    Sparta started with icing.
     
    20:01
    Start of 2nd period.
    1st period over in Prague, Cramo Top Scorer Tomas Netik put Sparta Prague on board.
     
    Next period begins at 15.20.
     
    Stats of the first period
    Shots: 8 – 6
    PIM: 2 – 2
     
    It was quite equal period but Sparta has little bit more from the first 20 minutes and deserves the one-goal-leading. Netik's individual attemp was amazing and extremly accurate. Sparta's forward is on fire in the first two games in CHL.

    12:35
    Pech tried to surpirise Haugen with a backhander but Norwegian goalie stays solid.
     
    11:43
    Although the tempo of the game is high, the total look from the game is spoiled with many inaccurate passes and almost no good shots.
