The second meeting of the weekend proved a tighter, more physical contest as Belfast responded strongly.

A goalless first period set the tone for a cagey encounter, with both goaltenders performing well under pressure. The Clan broke the deadlock early in the second as Brady Risk’s effort took a deflection and looped into the net.

However, the Giants hit back through Jordan Kawaguchi before the forward added a second late in the period to swing momentum in Belfast’s favour.

Despite continued effort from the Clan, further goals from Ciaran Long and David Goodwin secured a 4–1 win for the hosts, ensuring the points were split across the weekend.
