LHK Jestrabi Prostejov held on for a 4-3 win over Orli Znojmo in regulation, built on a two-goal opening period and a third-period exchange they never quite surrendered. The home side led 2-1 after twenty minutes and took that margin through a scoreless middle frame.
Prostejov struck in the sixth and twelfth minutes of the first, with Znojmo answering once in the seventh to make it 2-1 after one. The second period produced nothing on either side, and the turning point came in the third: goals at 44 and 59 minutes from the hosts, against Znojmo replies at 45 and 50, closed it out at 4-3.
The decisive number is the scoreless second period, when neither side scored and Prostejov's 2-1 cushion stayed intact. All seven goals arrived in the first and third periods, split 4-3 in the hosts' favor, with the winner coming from Prostejov in the 59th minute.
