    Shots 14-10
    PIM 4-4
    Score 2-0
     
    After 20 minutes the swiss side is in front by 2-0. This result is correct as Fribourg had better chances played a good first period in general and was also able to concretise some of their chances. First it was Neuenschwander after a lost puck in the Znojmo defense who opened the score and then the home team fired home the second during a good powerplay. Neukom was all alone in front of Nechvatal and redirected a shot from the blueline into the czech net.
