Lovosice converted the very first match point despite the fact that they were trailing for most of the match. The guests won the half 17:13 and in the opening ten minutes of the second half they got to a seven-goal lead. After that, the Hunters started to pull back strongly and in the 53rd minute, nine-goal scorer Jaroslav Trkovský equalized with two close goals and turned the score to 29:28. After that, Zubří managed to equalize once more, but Lovosice did not let the win take them away.
The North Bohemian team won the first extra league medal since the 2014/15 season, when they lost the final against Pilsen.
