The second period saw Jokerit regain a lead through Emil Kuusla and Henri Nikkanen, with Diaco's second sandwiched between them for a 4-3 Jokerit edge. Nieminen's third-period strike forced the extra session.
Diaco finished with two goals, the game's only multi-goal performance. Nieminen's late equalizer provided the decisive push, and Sport emerged with the shootout win to collect the victory.
