final
Salavat Yulaev Ufa
5:1 (2:1, 2:0, 1:0)
HC Donbass Donetsk
Friday 23.11.2012, 14:00 • KHL
     
    After a good first period where the home team's lead was actually a bit lucky, Donbass was surprised with two fast goals against early in the second and never found back into the match. In the end they even received even another one and as Salavat Yulaev Ufa had by far the better special teams today, the win is also deserved but maybe one or two goals too high.

    Thank you for following the game with us ! (16:09:37)
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:32
    Matousek into the arms of Tarkki.
     
    59:00
    Last minute began. Home fans are celebrating their team.
     
    57:30
    Break away chance for Antti Pihlström to score a shorthanded goal but his backhand shot is stopped by Laco.
     
    56:10
    A fist fight gets Vitaly Proshkin (Ufa) two minutes. Before a Donbass forward had crashed into Tarkki.
     
    55:09
    A shot by Donbass' Matousek ends up without danger in the arms of Tarkki.
     
    54:30
    Salavat Yulaev doesn't do more than necessary now.
     
    52:50
    One Donbass forward in the Ufa zone but really no team colleague follows him...
     
    49:40
    Same old story. Donbass tries to do it too complicated in front of the Ufa net.
     
    47:56
    Alexei Glukhov (Ufa) gets two minutes for hooking.
     
    46:27
    Denis Kochetkov (Donbass) gets two minutes for hooking.
     
    47:03
    GOAL FOR SALAVAT YULAEV!

    Power play strike by ANDREI KONEV into the left bottom corner. Nothing to get for the Donbass goalie.

    Assisted by Denis Khlystov and Vitaly Proshkin.
     
    45:00
    Nice play by the hosts. Almost another goal from the blue line...
     
    43:39
    Peter Podhradsky (Donbass) gets two minutes for high sticking.
     
    43:25
    After a break away an Ufa forward stands alone in front of Laco but is stopped by the Donbass goalie.
     
    41:19
    A huge two on one chance for Donbass but they can't get the puck past Tarkki. Evgeny Dadonov was a bit too selfish in that play.
     
    40:45
    Donbass goes directly into the attack. What do they have to lose?
     
    40:01
    3rd period began.
     
    An early double by the hosts in the 23rd minute leaves Donbass in a very delicate situation before the last period. So far its a lection of effectiveness they receive.
