Piráti Chomutov handled AZ Havířov 4-2 in regulation, answering each visiting goal and then closing it out with the only marker of the third period. The hosts led after every intermission — 2-1, 3-2, 4-2 — and never trailed.
Chomutov opened in the third minute, Havířov replied in the 14th, and the hosts restored the edge at 18 for a 2-1 first-period score. Havířov tied it again at 27, but the 34th-minute goal that made it 3-2 was the turning point; the 44th-minute insurance goal finished the job.
The numbers tell it plainly: Chomutov scored in all three periods (2-1, 1-1, 1-0) and shut out the visitors over the final 20 minutes. Havířov twice pulled level and twice fell behind within seven minutes — that response time decided the game.
