Manchester Storm took a 2-1 decision in Glasgow, settled in regulation on the back of an early lead and a third-period answer. The Storm scored first at 7:00 and never trailed.
The opening frame ended 0-1, and the second produced nothing at either end, leaving the game one goal apart through 40 minutes. Everything came late: Glasgow tied it at 1-1 in the third, but Manchester restored the lead in the same stretch to make it 1-2, the run of play flipping inside a couple of minutes.
The telling number is the scoreless middle period — 0-0 — which kept the Clan a single goal behind without letting them ahead. Both Manchester goals came in periods where Glasgow managed just one across the night.
