A goal-fest in Pilsen! The hosts didn’t give Rungsted a chance and took the lead just 43 seconds into the match thanks to Roman Vlach’s goal. 2 minutes later, teammate and captain Milan Gulaš added another to give Pilsen a 2-0 lead. A visibly shocked Rungsted side used their timeout in the third minute of the match to refocus and rethink their game plan. It seemed to work, as Rungsted’s Nikolaj Rosenthal scored 6 minutes later.

Penalty trouble however gave Pilsen too much space to create and Pilsen’s Tomáš Mertl comfortably slotted away a goal from a 5 on 3 power play in the 15th minute. Just before the teams went to the lockerrooms, Rungsted’s young forward T.J. Moore scored one to reduce the gap to a single goal again.

Despite Rungsted's best efforts, it was Pilsen who controlled the rest of the game from there on. Milan Gulaš added his team’s fourth goal from a powerplay, Tomáš Mertl added another and just before the end of the second period Vojtěch Němec added Pilsen’s sixth goal to send the teams into the lockerrooms with the score at 6-2 for Pilsen.

The third period continued where the previous two left of. Rungsted decided to swap goalies, as Thomas Lille made way for Jon Lee-Olsen, but just 2 minutes into his time on the ice he had to face a penalty shot awarded for Lucas Andersen’s game delaying penalty, which Miroslav Indrák’s scored. Jakub Pour scored Pilsen’s eight goal with just 4 minutes of the third period played and who else than star player Milan Gulaš, who finished the game with 3 goals and 3 assists, added his team’s ninth, and final, goal of the night. Mario Lucia’s short-handed goal was just a consolidation and finalised the scoring as HC Pilsen skated away with a convincing 9-3 victory to go top of Group B.
