Egara beats the Post and gets into the semifinals of the EHL Cup

“There is a lot of enthusiasm, there are entire families involved in this final phase and this gives us a plus to give everything. You have to take advantage of playing at home, thinking of the club it would be a tremendous joy to win the title”, explained Ramon Sala, coach of Club Egara to the RFEH prior to the meeting of EHL Cup quarterfinals, second continental field hockey competition, which celebrates its final phase in Tarrasa.

And the Catalan team did not fail and achieved a solid and resounding victory against Post SV (1-8), a victory that puts the hosts in the semifinal round, in a meeting, which in just three minutes, the ‘ratllats’ already had very well on track. Marc Recasens, twice, from the penalty corner, pierced the Austrian goal (0-1, Minute 2 and 0-2, Minute 3). Despite the advantage, Ramon Sala’s men did not slow down looking to make the gap even bigger. However, and even in the initial period and also from the penalty spot, Peter Kaltenböck would discount (1-2, Minute 14). But with the return to play, the Blue and Whites came close to being the team from the start, once again taking the game to a penalty. From one of them, the referees signaled the stroke point, on an occasion that Xavi Gispert would not miss out on to return the two away (1-3, Minute 18).

A variation that continued with the fourth, after a brilliant serve from Xavi Aguilar that Lluís Mercadé did not waste (1-4, Minute 20). An income that could be extended, but when the crash reached the equator, the light would not receive new variations. Overcome the same, the stage continued along the same lines as before. Those from Terrassa continued to dominate a meeting that continued to seek new changes in the electronic figures. Something that would come from the stick of Martí Soler, who finished off with success to raise the fifth (1-5, Minute 39) and that of Álex Gil, who materialized another penalty corner (1-6, Minute 42). With these records, the final 15 minutes were entered, which did nothing more than confirm the superiority of an Egara, who closed the clash with a great goal by Gispert (1-7, Minute 48) and another later work by Ignasi Prat (1 -8, Minute 50). The rival of the Catalans will be HC Rotterdam.
