Dynamo Pardubice edged Rögle BK 1-0 in regulation, with a second-period strike proving decisive. Tomas Dvorak supplied the only offense, converting at 36:00 with Peter Čerešňák drawing the assist.
The first period finished scoreless, and neither side generated a breakthrough until Pardubice broke through in the middle frame. Dvorak's goal made it 1-0 after two periods, and the home side protected that lead through a scoreless third to close out the win.
The one-goal margin was the game's defining number: Pardubice needed just a single tally to separate the teams. Dvorak's marker stood as the difference, and Rögle BK could not find an equalizer before the final horn.
