The hockey players of Liberec entered the match against Karovy Vary better, mainly thanks to well-managed overpowering games. Vlach took care of the first shot, who overtook Lukeš from Warsaw, and Filippi provided a relaxing break after the first period in another numerical advantage to the White Tigers.
The guests got the floor in the 26th minute, when they first shot Pavelka Průžek and reduced to a one-goal difference. Five minutes later Najman returned the peace for home hockey sticks, which he increased to 3: 1 for Liberec. Filippi determined the final form of the result in the 55th minute with his second goal of the evening and thus closed the score in the final 4: 1.

Machovsky captured the South Bohemia
Sparta started the fight for the first four against České Budějovice very well, when in the range of 105 seconds in the middle of the first period it led 2: 0 after the goals of Horák from the power play and Řepík. However, the well-filled O2 Arena, to which almost ten thousand fans found their way, waited in vain for more goals.
Machovský was helped by a pole in the middle third, Strmen was flawless, so after 40 minutes the Prague team held a two-goal lead. And even the final third did not score any goals. Matěj Machovský thus recorded a clean sheet and Sparta was able to celebrate a win over České Budějovice for the first time in the season.
