While Zug recorded two goals (Reto Suri, Fabrice Herzog) and led the game 2-1 from the 41st minute on, they were not able to score the third goal, even with their goaltender pulled. Tappara Tampere then made it clear with two short-handed goals in the 58th and the 59th minute.
As the Finnish team won the first game 2-0, they thus win the semifinals by an aggregated score of 5-2. While Tappara Tampere clinches their spot in the final, EV Zug is thus done with the 2022-23 edition of the Champions Hockey League.
