Kometa Brno skated to a 3-0 regulation win over HC Dukla Jihlava, taking control with a pair of third-period goals. Brno never trailed, opening the scoring late in the first and sealing the result with two unanswered strikes after the second intermission.
Jihlava kept it close through a scoreless middle frame, but Brno's late push proved decisive. The visitors broke through at 19:00 for a 1-0 lead, then doubled it at 45:00 and added a third at 53:00 to make it 3-0 by the final horn.
The clean sheet was the story, as Brno's defensive structure limited Jihlava to nothing across all three periods. All three goals came at even strength, with no power-play or penalty-kill time needed to settle the contest.
