Before the second match between the two teams, Valmieri had 19 points and the third position, while Cesians were nine points behind, finishing the top eight of the best teams. Also in the first game of this season between the two teams, Valmiers were superior with 10:3, although the result was tied 3:3 in the 48th minute.
The home team started the match powerfully, taking a 3-0 lead in the tenth minute. In addition, after the third conceded goal, the Česička goalkeeper Markus Plūdums was sent off in the 2+10 minutes, thus for the second time this season “Lekrings” were forced to replace the goalkeeper, as Plūdums even got a red card for getting involved in the conflict in Irlava. Flood’s rejection was converted by the home team into a goal in the numerical majority, as was the following majority. Thus, in the 15th minute of the match, the intrigue in the game seemed to have already disappeared, as the home team was in the lead with 5-0. Before the break, Miķelis Koknesis Roops and Olafs Zvīnis scored two goals, but immediately after the break, the best goal scorer of “jumping mice” this season, Bruno Beķeris, managed to reduce the deficit to 3:5. The home team had a timely goal by former “Lekring” player Kevin Schmidt, which slowed down the visitors’ breakthrough. After that goal loss, Plūdums returned to the goal, replacing Regnar Kreichamni, who also had a poor game, saving only two of five shots in 12 minutes.
In the final third of the game, one of the home team’s leaders, Mārtiņš Broks, also scored the seventh goal, but the guests were not going to give up, first using the majority when Oskars Siliņš was sent off, but Plūdums was on the bench. The rematch was hampered by Zvīnas’s four-minute penalty, but Emils Šumanis managed to make it 5-7 in the minority. That was all, because at the end of the game Ralfs Matīss Balodis and Richards Riba scored two more goals in the majority, ensuring a 9-5 victory for the Valmierians, which allowed them to return to the third place in the tournament table, from which they had been displaced by the players of “Lielvārde/FatPipe” for half an hour .
Two goals and one assist were scored by Richards Riba and the championship’s top scorer Kevin Schmidt, who scored 9 (7+2) points in two games against his former team, and also reached the 300-point mark in the Premier League in this game. For the guests, one goal and one assist for Roopa and Zvīnis, who also received this four-minute penalty.
