Only 32 seconds passed and Feneš’s charges were seen. After a quick counter, Kopecký passed under himself and Suchý was the first to break the Norwegian net. The pressure from the home team continued, another 30 seconds came Dalena’s mistake and another numerous advantage. After a nice action and acceptance of Molnár and Čiernik, they increased Dvorský to 4: 2. In the end, Magnussen could still reduce, but Elias managed.

However, the home team were dangerous in the next eight minutes of the match, they kept away from Eliaš, who did not miss a single shot in a minute. In the 49th break, he came out of the home’s fast fast speed, Stens’s shot was stopped by Stens’ concrete, but Honzek immediately put him in the net, in which he also ended up. The referees went through the situation on video and acknowledged the goal – 5: 2. In the end, Čiernik and Wold spice up the fight, after which both actors went to the penalty area, and the Norwegians summoned the goalkeeper in game 4 for 4 five minutes.
