FbŠ Bohemians v SV Wiler-Ersigen 5-4
FbŠ Bohemians and SV Wiler-Ersigen started the Southern Division quarter-finals on a Wednesday evening at UNYP Arena in Prague. This was also the first appearance in the Champions Cup for the Czech team. The hosts started strong as their newest transfer for the season, Slovak national team player Tomas Kvasnica scored the first goal fo the game. By the end of the first period it was 3-1 for the Bohemians but the Swiss champions got back to the game in the second period. Jakub Bursik had scored the 4-2 goal for Bohemians but Simon Laubscher and Gianluca Persici scored one each for Wiler making it 4-4. It was clear that the next goal would be important for both teams and in the 56th minute Bohemians got it. Matyáš Krebner succeeded to put the ball into the net after quite a mess in front of the Swiss goal and the debutants won the first game 5-4!
The teams did not have to wait for their second match as it was played already on the following Saturday at Mobiliar Arena in Bern. Similar to the first meeting, also the second match proved to be an even one. It was 1-1 after the first 20 minutes as Yannis Wyss took Wiler in the lead and Tomas Trnka equalised for Bohemians. Marco Louis took the hosts again in the lead but Karel Petrak equalised on power play. Jan Dobisik then took Bohemians to the lead for the first time in this game but it was Michal Dudovic who evened the match in the third period. Wiler-Ersigen needed to win the match in regular time in order for the game to go on overtime. And that is exactly what they did. Max Wahlgren scored for Wiler when they were playing without the goalkeeper and indeed, this game had to be decided in overtime and possible penalty shots. Wiler’s Marco Louis kept the ball for quite some in the Bohemians corner and could pass it from behind the net to Dudovic who had an easy task to score and take his team to the semi-finals.
