Continental Cup: Williams and Gomes shoot Ritten to victory

The Rittner had to do without the injured Andreas Alber, Markus Spinell, Kevin Fink and Daniel Spimpolo in the important opening game, but Tommaso Traversa returned to the team. Coach Riku Lehtonen also had the three newcomers Brad Cole, Jared Gomes and Jason Williams at his disposal.

After a goalless, rather nervous starting third, it was former NHL player Williams who gave the home team a 34-1 lead in the 0th minute on a pass from Jared Gomes and Tommaso Traversa. This narrow lead remained until the last break.

Incredible final third In the final third, events came to a head. Just 83 seconds after the break, Radoslaw Galant equalized to make it 1-1 and in the 45th minute the guests even took the lead with Marcin Kolusz. Mateusz Bepierszcz provided the assist for both goals. Less than three minutes later, Ritten struck back. Williams passed to Fabian Ebner, who equalized to make it 2-2. Then only 88 seconds passed before Jaroslaw Rzeszutko shot Tychy forward again. Driven by the home fans, the Rittners countered again. And how. Five minutes before the end of the game, Jason Williams scored his second goal to make it 3-3 after a remarkable individual action and then, after 59.14 minutes, he gave the pass to Jared Gomes to make the final score 4-3. The hall went wild, with this victory Ritten moved level with leader Beibarys Atyrau in the table at the end of the first day of the tournament. The Kazakhs defeated the Belarusians from Shakhtyor Soligorsk with 4-1 goals in the afternoon.
