Plzeň’s hockey players kept their perfect Champions League record, but only after turning around a match that had long been slipping away from them.

After a clear 4-0 victory over Sweden’s Rögle, the Plzeň side defeated Polish champions GKS Tychy 2-1 on home ice on Saturday. The hosts controlled the shooting statistics, yet found themselves behind for much of the game.

Tychy took the lead when Růžička allowed a seemingly harmless shot to slip between his pads. Plzeň finally equalized after the halfway point, when Canadian player Katic converted a power play.

The comeback was completed in the 52nd minute by Ondřej Rohlík. His winning goal secured Plzeň’s second victory of the competition and brought relief after the team had spent so long chasing the game.
