    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.

    29:49
    But only seconds later we have the next Powerplay for Fribourg. Vasicek is called for tripping.
     
    29:39
    Apparently it was an accident, as no penalty is called by the referees.
     
    29:39
    Rathgeb is hit and falls hard on the ice. The swiss defender needs help to get up again....

    And then the horn ended the first period.
    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.

    Welcome to Fribourg.
    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.
     
    The final winner-takes-all tie is in Fribourg, where the hosts are level with their Slovak opponents thanks to a late equalizer in Kosice last week. Last season the Slovaks travelled to Skelleftea a goal up but lost, but this year they will have to score away from home in the return game if the are to stand any chance of progressing further.

    "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.”
     
    Welcome. Game starts at 19:45.
