    Dinamo had a good first period with a nice comeback but after a terrible middle period they never found back into the game again. In the end Vladimir Antipov made everything clear for Traktor early in the third.

    For Dinamo this loss is a setback in their playoff ambitions while Traktor ended their three-game road trip with a success.
