LIBOR SULAK with a hat-trick! He found a puck in the slot and shot through all he could! Looks like it will be interesting in the very end. No assist.
Red Bull keeps striking! JEROME FLAAKE delivered the puck in front of Schwarz and Munich lead by two goals! Assisted by: Florian Kettemer.
Lucky shot! Schwarz didn't see anything and MADS CHRISTENSEN shot through two another players and aimed right above goalie's glove. Munich takes lead quickly! Assist: Keith Aucoin.
Not enough. Nine seconds before the end of the power-play of the host team MICHAEL WOLF delivered the puck in front of Schwarz and equaled the score. Assist: Deron Quint.
Unbelievable! Znojmo takes lead! The home team uses its double power-play by a hard shot from LIBOR SULAK, who scores his second goal tonight! Assisted by: Jan Seda.
Znojmo locked their opponent in their defense zone and tried to shoot from nearly every possible angle. Then puck went to LIBOR SULAK, who sent a great blueliner, Birken didn't see anything! Assist: Peter Pucher.
Terrible mistake by Lakos! He completely forgot KEITH AUCOIN on a blue line, Munich's offender got an ideal pass and in front of Schwarz he aimed between goalie's pads. No assist.

German team performed an excellent ending of the last season, In finals it did not lost any game and won a title the second time in Munich history, the first one was reached in 1922.
Munich played three games so far, they won two preparation games against Swiss teams but lost their first match in CHL against Fribourg.
The Czech team had a great season last year, reaching the CHL, got an MVP award for Colton Yellow Horn, who is now playing in Pilsen, Czech Republic. Unforutunately, Znojmo lost in finals against Austria's sibling of Red Bull Munich – Red Bull Salzburg.
Orli had couple of pre-season games, all of them against Czech Extraliga opponents. Twice they won, twice they lost, so this game against Munich is their fifth of the season.
