The start of the match between Olomouc and Liberec had to be postponed by 40 minutes to 18:40 due to snowmobile problems. Right at the beginning, the home team had a long power play at their disposal after the exclusion of Vlach for five minutes and until the end of the match. However, Navrátil narrowly missed it during a good position, Krejčí only hit the prepared goalkeeper Kváč and Knotek did not succeed.

Liberec also threatened for the first time during the power play, Gríger’s finish ended next to the goal. Klimek from Olomouc had another chance, who, after Olesz’s pass in a two-on-one escape, hit the mask of the moving Kváč.

Before the end of the first period, the home team took the lead after a nice individual action by Navrátil. The 22-year-old Olomouc striker picked up speed in the defensive zone, got behind the defending players and hit exactly in the upper corner of the goal.

A happy rebound almost helped Olomouc to the second goal, but Kváča corrected his mistake and saved the situation in his goal area. The guest Gríger immediately presented himself with a good run, but unfortunately his puck aimed over Lukáš’s goal.
–
Liberec added to the turn at the beginning of the second period and Lukáš had to show some good interventions. Birner’s shot was half overtaken before half of regular time, but he was saved by the right post. Bambula from Olomouc, whose attempt aimed just above, also fired dangerously.
–
Olomouc then got into a two-goal lead, he took advantage of the power play with a shot from the right circle Kolouch. Olesz also aimed well, this time Kváča set off the puck with a mask.
–
The guests had a chance to reduce at the beginning of the third period, but Filippi did not hit the exposed goal up close. Zachar then fired from a good position, against which Lukáš performed a prompt intervention. Nevertheless, Liberec confirmed a good entry into the third period with a goal, after a pass from behind the goal and a successful handle, Ordoš reduced.
–
After that, the game leveled optically and the next chance was waited until the 51st minute, when Rychlovský tested the prepared Lukáš with a hard shot. The guests then managed to equalize during the power play two minutes before the end of the basic playing time, Zachar used a cross pass through the axis of the field.
–
The extension did not last long, Krejčí presented the puck in front of the goal to Ondrušek in the first minute and he was not wrong.
