HC Banik Sokolov closed out a 4-1 regulation win over Pirati Chomutov in Club Friendly Games, taking control with a fast start. The home side led 2-0 after the opening period and never let the visitors back into the game.
Sokolov extended the lead to 3-0 by the second intermission, leaning on a tight defensive structure and efficient finishing. Pirati broke through in the third period, but Sokolov matched that goal to keep the margin at three and finish 4-1.
The decisive number was the two-period cushion: a three-goal advantage after 40 minutes made the third-period exchange largely academic. Sokolov dictated the flow from the first frame onward and secured the result without needing extra time.
