    Fast counter by Ufa over the left wing, the last pass was not precise enough but this attack reduced the remaining time a bit!

    Dmitry Obukhov (Ak Bars) gets two minutes for roughing. He just beat an opponent in the face without warning. Lot of frustration now by the hosts!!
     
    53:51
    Goal for Salavat Yulaev!


    Perfect counter attack by the guests as it is written in any playbook! After a cross-pass from the left wing by Andrei Zubarev it was NIKITA FILATOV who turned the match around in favour of Ufa!!!
