Comarch Cracovia defeated Orlik Opole 6-5 in the third semifinal game and made it to the next stage of the competition. Pasy player Bartosz Dąbkowski provides analysis of the match.

- Despite some problems you were able to qualify for the semifinal in three games.

- That was the plan. We wanted to get through to the semifinals without having to play the fourth and the fifth game. We are very glad we managed to do that. We romped home 12-1 in the first match, however the next game was very different. Especially in the third match Orlik showed us that they are a strong team and they just had a bad start to the playoffs.

- Jacek Szopińskis men had nothing to lose in the third game.

- Thats right. They just had to take a risk and do something completely different, which made things very difficult for us. They were lucky to score a couple of times, but so were we. We kept conceding goals and were unsure of the final result till the very end. The most important thing right now is that in the end we earned victory.

- In the semifinal you will face Ciarko PBS Bank Sanok. Are you happy about that or would you rather play against JKH GKS Jastrzębie?

- Its difficult to say who would be a better rival for us. Sanok as well as JKH have shown in the regular season that they are a great team. Our games against Sanok and JKH have usually been close-fought. Thanks to new additions to the squad the team from Sanok could be now even stronger, but we believe in ourselves. The real battle is only just beginning.
