HC Zdar Nad Sazavou took it 5-2 over IHC Pisek in regulation, and the third period did the work: three goals in the final 20 minutes after a one-goal game through 40. The home side scored in every period, Pisek only in the first and third.
The teams traded goals in the opening frame to sit 1-1 after 20 minutes, with Zdar's marker at the seventh minute and Pisek's at the 20th. A single goal at 32 minutes made it 2-1 after two, and the turning point came early in the third, where Zdar scored twice around the 42nd minute to stretch the lead. Pisek answered at 52, but a Zdar goal at 59 closed it out.
The number that matters: a 3-1 third period for the home team, and 5 goals on the night spread across all three frames. No overtime needed — the cumulative line read 1-1, 2-1, 5-2.
