Basel started well into the game, leading by two powerplay goals (Cédric Aeschbach, Brett Supinski) until the 28th minute of play when EHC Visp found the back of the net thanks to Yannick Brüschweiler. Only six minutes after that, Sandro Forrer tied the game for the Valaisans.

The third period started again with a goal by EHC Basel, as Brett Supinski recorded another goal in the powerplay. However, EHC Visp answered with a goal by Jorden Gähler in the 47th minute of play and secured the title with a goal by Fadri Riatsch 3:44 minutes before the end of regulation. 

It is EHC Visp's first championship win in over a decade. They last took the trophy to the Valais in 2014. On their way to the title, they defeated HC Sierre (4-1) and HC Thurgau (4-0). Their season is, however, not yet over, as they will face HC Ajoie in the League Qualification.
