Kiekko-Espoo handled TPS Turku 8-1 in Turku, a game decided almost entirely by a five-goal middle period. The visitors were shut out through the opening 20 minutes and then scored at will once the game opened up.
The first period ended 0-0, with neither side solving the other's structure. The second broke it wide open: Kiekko-Espoo put up five goals to TPS Turku's one for a 5-1 lead after 40 minutes, and the third brought three more unanswered for the 8-1 final in regulation.
The number that tells it: eight goals across the final two periods, with the last 40 minutes going 8-1 in Kiekko-Espoo's favor. TPS Turku's lone goal came in the second, and the home side was blanked in the first and third.
