Assat Pori edged HPK 3-2 in a shootout, the only separation coming after 65 scoreless-in-extras minutes. Neither side could break a tie that held from the opening period onward, and the visitors left without a single shootout conversion.
The teams traded goals in the first for 1-1, then matched again in the second to sit 2-2 after 40 minutes. The third period produced nothing on the scoreboard, 0-0, and the five-minute overtime followed suit before the shootout settled it 1-0 in Pori's favor.
The decisive number is the shootout line: Assat Pori 1, HPK 0. Across 65 minutes the sides were level on goals at every checkpoint, so the margin came down to a single successful attempt and a clean round in the crease for the home side.
