Shots on goal 30-16
PIM 6-12
Score 4-1
Aggregate score 5-2
Another fast goal makes it 4-1. A shot from Sprunger is deflected by Kopriva but there is ROMAN CERVENKA at the second post and he scores from a close angle. Assisted: Julien Sprunger.
What a start for Fribourg in this third period. Nice passing between Cervenka and YANNICK RATHGEB wo score in the upper left corner. No chance for Kopriva. Assisted: Roman Cervenka
Shots 8-5 (20-10)
PIM 2-6 (2-8)
Score 1-1 (2-1)
Aggregate Score 3-2
Nevertheless, Fribourg played twice more 5-4, but these special teams were badly negociated. On the last penalty it was even Suja who was closest to score, but his shorthanded attempt was denied by Conz.
The powerplay was much better this time and it pays. After a nice pass by Mottet, LORENZ KIENZLE shoots from the blueline and scores top shelf! 2-1 Fribourg (3-2 on aggregate).
Assisted Killian Mottet.
A bad line change from Fribourg and JURAJ MILY scores on the breakaway! Unassisted.
Shots on goal 12-5
PIM 0-2
Score 1-0
Aggregate score 2-1
Fribourg-Gottéron leads 1-0 after 20 minutes. The game wasn't on a very high level so far and it was due to a huge mistake in the czech defense, when Rivera was able to break the deadlock. He was served by Rathgeb, made a deke to avoid a defender and the slipped the puck past Kopriva for the 1-0. Short after, Fribourg had another chance by Neukom and then some shots during the only Powerplay of this period, but without scoring another goal.
Kosice on the other hand made some efforts late in the period, but the czech side was never really dangerous so far.
A mistake in the czech defense and the puck comes to CHRIS RIVERA who passes a last defender and scores the first one. Assisted Rathgeb.

The game between Fribourg-Gottéron and HC Kosice will start in about 30 minutes. My name is Alain Hauert and I will follow this game live for you at BCF-Arena.
"Last week we tried to play aggressively while on attack, but Fribourg’s defence did a great job," reflected veteran Ladislav Nagy. "On their ice, I think that it’s going to be the other way around – we will try to make the most of every chance that we can create, particularly odd-man rushes."
Friboug head coach Larry Huras said of last week's game: “I am really happy that it finished 1-1. I knew that Kosice would come out very strong. They played very well throughout the game, and their goalie played really great.”
