Corona Brasov won 5-2 in Debrecen in regulation, settling it with a three-goal third period. The visitors bookended the night, scoring twice in the first and three more after the second intermission.
Corona struck inside the opening minute and again at 14 for a 0-2 lead after 20. Debrecen answered with two in the middle frame, at 26 and 32, to square it at 2-2, but the tie held only until the 40th minute, when Corona restored the lead and then added goals at 43 and 46.
The decisive number is the third-period margin: 0-3, and 0-5 across the two periods Corona scored in. Debrecen's only productive stretch was the middle frame, where it went 2-0 and briefly erased the deficit.
