Eishockey Akademie Steiermark handled DVTK Jegesmedvek's U20 side 4-1 in regulation, and the middle period did the work. A three-goal second turned a one-goal edge into a 4-0 cushion that never came under real threat.
The hosts took the first period 1-0, then scored three times in the second to lead 4-0 after 40 minutes — the clear turning point of the night. DVTK got on the board in the third, the only period they won, 1-0, which cut the final margin to 4-1 without changing the outcome.
The number that frames it: four of Steiermark's goals came in the first two periods, none in the third, while DVTK managed a single goal across 60 minutes. Scoring details for this one are incomplete, so the ledger stands on periods: 1-0, 4-0, 4-1.
