Sun 24.02.2019: HC Orli Znojmo – EHC LIWEST Black Wings Linz 4:5 (1:2,2:3,1:0 )
Referees: BALUSKA, ZRNIC; spectators: 2823
Znojmo had the upper hand early in the game, but it was Linz who took the lead eight minutes into the game thanks to a powerplay goal by Brian Lebler, shooting from the point. Znojmo equalized three minutes later, Mikko Vainonen netting from a very similar position, but Andreas Kristler restored visitors' lead with a deflection that was confirmed by a video review. Eagles missed a lot of chances in the opening period, Kalus and Matus going alone at the goalie, but not converting their shots. And the home team was left to pay the price in the 25th minute when Bracken Kearns tapped home from D´Aversa´s cross-ice pass. Very offensive game was played in high tempo and the home team got back on equal terms midway through the game: Petr Mrazek and David Bartos both scoring with deflected shots. However, Linz had two more goals in their bag. Dan DaSilva fired in a shot from tight angle late on a powerplay and Andreas Kristler made it 5-3 for Linz in the last minute of the second period with a high shot that beat Lassila on his stick side. In the last period, Znojmo could score just one more goal in Power Play. So, Linz took three points away from Znojmo.
Goals Znojmo: Vainonen (12.), Mrazek (27.), Bartos (30.), Stretch (58./pp)
Goals Linz: Lebler (9./PP), Kristler (14., 40.), Kearns (25.), DaSilva (34.).
