Sport won the Aces in the Lace Tournament 1-0 when Niclas Lucenius fired the winning goal from Vaasa directly from the pass 25 seconds before the final buzzer.
In the last minute, the gloves fell off after the Sport Jonne Virtanen and Aces Juuso Walli decided to exchange blows.
As a result of his defeat, the Aces were left in a jumbo match, where the last of the second block, Tappara, will face off. The Aces used to draw with Luko, but even if Luko lost to Sport and remained tied with the Aces, winning a mutual game win would qualify Luko ahead of the Aces.
In Block A, Sport and Lock, and in Block B, TPS and HIFK will continue to the Lace Tournament playoffs.

Tappara − HIFK 1-2 (VL: HIFK)
Lock − Aces 1−1 (VL: Lock)
TPS − Tappara 3−0 (VL: Tappara)
