		Thank you for following the game with us! (16:31:09)
		A double in the mid of the last period made it look like Sibir Novosibirsk could enjoy a calm end of the game but when Felix Schütz scored in a power play for Admiral, the guests went for full attack and had several big opportunities to score the equalizer while on the other side of the ice Sibir failed to get the decisive goal! In the end Sibir suffered a lot but gained their first win of the season and valuable three points! Shots on goal: Sibir 9 (41) – Admiral 8 (23)
	60:00	Game over.
	59:48	Vitaly Karamnov only has the empty Admiral net and a defender in front of him but his shot is blocked by the last man!

	58:05	Gynge with a shot from the right wing, blocked to the side by Gaiduchenko.
	57:20	The guests now increase their efforts significantly and want to force overtime! The more offensive style gives Sibir more room for counter attacks.
	56:15	Goal for Admiral! In power play the guests cut the deficit to the half. Niclas Bergfors played a brilliant cross-pass to German forward FELIX SCHÜTZ who watied at the second post and scored from short distance against the already beaten Gaiduchenko! Assisted by Niclas Bergfors and Richard Gynge.
	55:44	Jori Lehterä (Sibir) gets two minutes for tripping. A goal in this power play could be the last chance for Admiral to keep their hopes for overtime alive.

	51:51	Goal for Sibir! Just after being back at full strength the hosts increase their lead!

From there his shot went straight into the right top corner past the chanceless Lundström! Assisted by Dmitry Kugryshev.
	50:58	Goal for Sibir! Shorthanded goal for the hosts Sibir!!! After an Admiral player slipped in the neutral zone, the puck came to IGOR IGNATUSHKIN who left Lundström in the Admiral net no chance at all with a flat shot into the right bottom corner! Assisted by Stepan Sannikov.

	40:01	Start of 3rd period.
		Sibir Novosibirsk controlled the middle period and was soon rewarded with a lead through Dmitry Kugryshev.

	36:59	Dmitry Kugryshev tries it with a shot from the right circle towards the right bottom corner, just blocked by Lundström in the last moment!
	36:30	The guests are being able to keep the puck a little longer now in the Sibir third but still without creating real danger in this period.

	31:59	Very optimistic distance shot by Lemtyugov, blocked to the side by Lundström.

	29:18	A blast by Enlund from the right circle is blocked by Lundström. Sibir keep up the high pressure.
	27:50	Goal for Sibir! With a man more on the ice – the first power play of the middle period – the home side scores the by now well-deserved 1-0 lead!

	27:20	Artyom Ternavsky (Admiral) gets two minutes for hooking.
	26:57	1-on-1 attack by the home side but Romanov's shot from the left wing goes wide.
	25:53	Harmless shot by Dmitry Monya from the left wing, into the gloves of Lundström.

	22:14	A fast attack by the Sibir offense ends with a shot by Nikolai Lemtyugov from the right circle that hits the crossbar! The best chance of the match so far!
	22:00	Admiral show some great speed changes in their play. They wait very long behind their net just to start a rush in the next moment.
	20:49	Suddenly Jonas Enlund receives the puck at the right post of the Admiral net but his one-timer goes just wide!
	20:01	Start of 2nd period.

	19:45	Huge check by an Admiral player in the neutral zone – no penalty.
	19:12	The match goes back and forth currently without big effect.
	18:03	Beautiful solo by Kugryshev over the right wing. He deked out the last defender before his back hander was stopped from short distance by Lundström!
	16:00	Alexander Romanov (Sibir) gets two minutes for hooking – their 5 on 3 power play lasted only four seconds.
	15:56	Artyom Ternavsky (Admiral) gets two minutes for cross-checking.
	15:56	A one-timer by Jori Lehterä from the right circle goes just wide.
	15:28	After a powerful shot by Alexei Kopeikin from the left circle, Lundström had problems to stop the puck after it hit his chest! In the end he was able to cover up the puck before an opponent could get it though!

		For both Sibir Novosibirsk and Admiral Vladivostok this will be their second game of the young KHL season. While Sibir lost their first match on the road against Metallurg Novokuznetsk (2-3), league newcomers Admiral were able to gain their first win and their first two points of their KHL history by defeating Far East Rivals Amur (4-3 SO) in their league debut. Sibir with the home support are the favourites this afternoon but Admiral stay the big question mark and thus it's hard to judge their strengths. Enjoy the game with us!
		Welcome. Game starts at 13:00 GMT / 14:00 CET / 16:00 MSK.
