Another one-horse race
After nine goals scored against SA Akureyeri, tonight Kurbads trashes Txuri Urdin
Kurbads also overcomes the second obstacle in
the hunt for the semi-finals, easily win against Txuri Urdin San Sebastian, as
predictable, the weakest team in the group along with Sa Akureyri and today
without the interesting prospect Pablo Zaballa.
The game has a similar plot as the previous
day, with home team stronger, faster and more skilled, already up by two goals,
scored by Janis Sprukts and Martins Gipters, both served by Martins Porejs, after
6 minutes and continuing to dominate the ice, even if without scoring more, but
the SOG statistic is significant: 17-2. After 11 seconds in the central period,
veteran Martins Cipulis noted the third goal and 18 seconds after a hooking of
Renars Valters allows Czech Petr Machacek to open the score for Txuri scoring a
penalty shot. Edgards Homjakovs, 4 goals last night, leaves his mark too with a
beautiful goal at 22.32 before the second personal for Cipulis at 31:04. The
rain of goals continues before the siren with the second for Homjakovs and Arturs
Logunovs. The third period has less emotions, Juris Stals notches his first
goal in the competition at minute 55. Another one-horse race for Kurbads waiting
for the game against Donbas, even if Latvian team seems much better then
Ukranians
MVP: Imanol Lasuen – Toms Hartmanis
