Dukla Jihlava U20 took a 2-0 decision in Liberec, and the whole thing was settled inside the opening twenty minutes. Both goals came in the first period; the rest of the night was about protecting them.
Jihlava led 2-0 after one and never moved off that number. The second period went scoreless, and so did the third, with the visitors content to sit on the lead and force Liberec into low-percentage looks from the outside.
The defining figure is the shutout. Forty minutes without a goal against after the early cushion — the home side never solved Jihlava's goaltender, and a 2-0 scoreline that held from the first intermission through the final horn tells the story on its own.
