    Assisted by Petr Nedvěd.

    57:37
    Goal for Litvinov!

    The visitors capitalize on the powerplay. Looks like the goal was inevitable and JURAJ MAJDAN was the one who sniped it past Schwarz after a long possession in the offensive zone.

    Assisted by František Lukeš and Karel Kubát.
     
    56:46

    48:51

    Powerplay goal for Litvínov that cuts the lead to two. It's a good goal even though Ručinský was clearly in the goal-crease and prevented Schwarz from playing. Scored by VIKTOR HÜBL.

    Unassisted.

    Good glove save by Schwarz stopping Ručinský point-blank.

    45:16
    Nice chance for Michal Bárta who was set up by Bulíř, the backhander is deflected aside by Francouz.
     
    44:08
    4,149 spectators are in attendance.
     
    44:00

    36:35
    Two fights broke out in front of Litvínov net, Brejčák started it with a cheap shot on Vantuch and Čutta squared off with Jiří Gula who wanted to jump in into the initial fight as the third man. All beligerents get roughing minors.

    Good wrist shot by Ručinský, Schwarz makes an easy stop.
     
    35:44
    Goal for Liberec!

    Two-goal lead for the Tigers as they're handed over another powerplay opportunity. The defence of Verva totally forgot to cover TOMÁŠ BULÍK who had no problem finding the back of the wide-open net.

    Assisted by Jiří Moravec and Tomáš Pospíšil.
     
    34:39
    Jan Brejčák (LIT) gets called for cross-checking as tempers flare here late in the second.
     
    34:20
    Kudrna and Dušek with a lot of pressure on the visiting net, Francouz keeps it out.
     
    33:01
    Goal for Liberec!

    The Tigers capitalize on the powerplay! Kudrna let Nedvěd quarterback the powerplay and moved to the doorstep where he did his best to help a shot by RADEK DUDA get past Francouz and it was a beauty as the blast went in off the crossbar.

    Assisted by Petr Nedvěd and Jaroslav Kudrna.
     
    32:20
    Duda looking for captain Nedvěd in front, pass redirected just wide.
     
    31:46
    Powerplay for Liberec, Richard Jareš gets a two for tripping after a series of great chances for the Tigers by Vantuch.
     
    30:57

    25:34
    Bulíř forced a turnover in the corner which resulted in a one-timer from the blue line by Jan Výtisk, not dangerous enough.
     
    24:32
    Big chance for Roman Pšurný who was passing the puck in front, but rookie rearguard Radim Šimek got over in time to block the pass.
     
    23:28
    Wrist shot by Ručinský got through defender Derner, but it wasn't a shot on goal after all.
     
    22:56
    Dangerous backhander by Filippi coming towards net from the right wing, not strong enough for Francouz though.
     
    22:12
    Huge pass by Dušek in front looking for Kudrna who failed to get enough wood on it which enabled Francouz to make the save.
     
    21:54
    What an effort by Adam Jánošík bringing the puck all the way in, skating around the back of the net and then trying to tuck it in along the post, but the puck ends up at the side of the net.
     
    21:01
    František Lukeš (LIT) gets a ten-minute misconudct for unsportsmanlike conduct.

    18:03
    Tomáš Bulík gets called for hooking.
     
    17:45
    Hübl was a lucky recipient of a pass in front of the wide-open net, not so lucky on the shot itself that missed in a sure opportunity.
     
    17:15
    Marek Posmyk turned the puck over at the opposing blue line which could lead into a breakaway for Michal Bulíř, who, unfortunately for the Tigers, lost the sight of the puck that was somewhere beneath him.
     
    16:07
    Dušek causing problems first with a rising shot that was blocked by Francouz, then he sent the rebound over to Filippi whose shot in a scoring position goes just inches wide of the net.
     
    14:51
    Jan Víšek all alone in front after the puck suddenly changed direction, Francouz, however, managed to stay with him and block the ensuing shot.

    Tomáš Pospíšil fired one hard from the blue line, Bulík caused some mess in front looking for the rebound which resulted in a scrum that is quickly broken up by the officials.
     
    13:28
    Martin Ručinský fired a huge drive that Schwarz blocked with his shoulder, hooking called against the Litvínov veteran as the play is blown dead.
     
    12:40
    Bulík and Duda created more pressure on Litvínov net, Francouz able to survive it without allowing a goal on the play.
     
    12:00
    Big shot through traffic sent out from the blue line by Derner, a visiting defenceman comes down to block it with his stick.
     
    10:07
    Goal for Liberec!

    What a way to respond! We're all tied up again as a lucky goal gets the Tigers on the scoreboard. Duda carried the puck in looking for PETR NEDVĚD whose initial shot was steered aside by Francouz, but the home captain sent home the rebound from behind the end-line off of Francouz's pads and in.

    Assisted by Radek Duda.
     
    09:22
    Goal for Litvinov!

    Strange goal for Litvínov getting a lot of pressure into the Liberec crease and capitalizing. JURAJ MAJDAN was the last to touch the puck before it crossed the goal-line and the visitors take a one-goal lead.

    Assisted by František Lukeš.
     
    08:35
    Big shot by Petr Kousalík from the blue line, pad save by Schwarz.

    ...not for long though as the puck is cleared by the defence.
     
    06:18
    Litvínov finally settles in the offensive zone...

    Kamil Piroš had a big chance, Radek Duda gets a two for high-sticking.

    04:02
    Big chance for Tomáš Bulík, big one-timer stopped point-blank by Pavel Francouz, who records his first save of the night.
     
    03:37
    Momentum is on Litvínov's side, icing called against Liberec.
     
    02:40
    Tigers in full strength, pretty good PK by the home team.
