Poruba took the first period 2-0, scoring at 11 and 16 to lead 2-0 after twenty. Pardubice answered with four unanswered in the second — goals at 22, 23, 32 and 36 — to turn the game around and lead 4-2 after forty; the quick pair at 22 and 23 was the turning point.
The third period was another three-goal shutout stretch for Pardubice, with goals at 45, 46 and 57 closing it at 7-2. Seven straight goals after falling behind 0-2 is the number that frames the night; Poruba did not score after the 16th minute.
