Bílí Tygři Liberec handled HC Olomouc 2-0 in regulation, and the whole night was decided inside one period. Both goals came in the middle frame, and Liberec's shutout did the rest.
The opening 20 minutes produced nothing on the scoreboard, 0-0 after one. Liberec broke through in the 25th minute for 1-0, then Tomas Filippi doubled it in the 32nd on a feed from Adam Musil for 2-0 — the scoreline that held through a goalless third.
Two goals, both in the second period, and a clean sheet at the other end: that is the entire story. Filippi's finish with Musil's assist was the only named combination on the night, and it stood as the insurance marker.
