    Thank you for following the game with us! (16:13:30)
     
    A goal by Pyanov in the third period was enough to give home side Avangard Omsk a small 4-3 lead that they defended till the final second! For Avangard it was the third consecutive win and they improved their record to 8 points (2.0 points per game) after 4 matches.

    For Atlant who led 2-0 and 3-2 it was just another disappointment and they remain at 1 point only.
