HC TWK Innsbruck DIE Haie U20 handled Vasas Budapest Stars U20 4-1 in regulation, and the work was essentially finished by the second intermission. Four of the five goals in the game came off Innsbruck sticks in the opening 40 minutes.
Innsbruck took the first period 2-1, the lone Vasas answer keeping it a one-goal game at the first break. The hosts scored twice more in the middle frame to move it to 4-1, and that was the turning point of the night — the visitors did not score again.
The third period was the tell: 0-0, with Innsbruck protecting a three-goal cushion and Vasas unable to convert. Neither side found the net over the final 20 minutes, and the 4-1 scoreline held to the horn.
