Competing against the Tallinn Panthers, Liepaja achieved a solid 5-2 victory on the road, bringing their series lead to 2-0, as the playoffs are a best-of-five format. The game began with the home team taking an early 2-0 lead in the first period thanks to goals from Andre Linde and Rasmus Kiik. However, the Liepaja players responded swiftly with a goal from Gustav Krūmiņš that narrowed the gap to one goal.

In the second period, Liepaja leveled the score at 2-2 midway through the period when Daniel Anderson scored during a power play. Shortly after, Kristers Kuzņecovs put Liepaja in the lead at 3-2, showcasing the team's resilience and attacking power. The third period saw further dominance from the Liepaja players, with goals from Kārlis Ozoliņš and Dominiks Sadausks, ensuring a comfortable victory for the visitors. The next game in the series is scheduled to take place on Tuesday in Liepaja, where the home team will look to capitalize on their winning momentum. If required, additional games will be held in Tallinn and back in Liepaja later this week.
