Revenge for the defeat in the first season duel
The Black Wings Linz managed to get revenge against Graz for their defeat in the first duel of the season.

Alex Wall (6th) and Max Coatta (25th/PP) put Villach 2:0 ahead, while the Red Bulls tied the game through Benjamin Nissner (33rd) and Thomas Raffl (40th). The champions were unable to counter the third VSV goal by Chase Pearson (50) and dropped back to fifth place.
