    Game over.
     
    76:48
    Goal for AK Bars!


    Completely out of the blue DANIS ZARIPOV scores the game winner for the guests!!! He received the puck right to the net and fired a shot into the wide open net past Garnett who was out of position for a moment!

    Assisted by Evgeny Medvedev.
     
    76:18
    Yakutsenya with the next opportunity for the home side, into the gloves of Barulin.
     
    74:41
    Belov with the attempt of a wrap-around but Barulin was in the corner on time.
     
    73:12
    Maxim Yakutsenya with a try from right to the guest net, blocked by the goalie.

    Again a shot by Kuznetsov but this time a defender is in between.

    The hosts win the faceoff and hit the left goal post! What a chance!
     
    69:05
    Harmless shot by Chistov into the gloves of Barulin.
     
    68:37
    A Traktor forward waited very long behind the guest net. As he found no team colleague to pass the puck to he tried it with a wrap-around that was blocked by Barulin.
     
    67:24
    The match has calmed down significantly in the last minutes. It looks like none of the teams want to risk more than necessary.

    Popov with the next shot on goal for Traktor from a half left position!
     
    61:20
    Next good opportunity for the home side but the shot out of the air from short distance was blocked in the last moment!
     
    60:57
    First really big chance of the overtime when Traktor hit the crossbar with a shot from a half left position.
