    Although Spartak scored the late goal, it was after the horn was sounded so the final score is 3:2 Spartak! The first Muscovian derby goes to Spartak with rock-solid defence and fine offensive display. CSKA will have to work in numerous fields of their game, and the question arises whether Rastislav Stana will get another chance between the pipes.
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:57
    Radulov plays the puck to behind the net and a feed is sent to Zubov in the right circle, but his one-timer is saved by Jeff Glass.
     
    59:39
    Spartak's defence shoots the puck out of the rink, but apparently it touched the glass on the way out, so they'll only take a faceoff in their zone.
     
    59:31
    Now Spartak take the timeout.
     
    59:31
    Icing Spartak as their defence tries to fire on the empty net.
     
    59:07
    CSKA take the timeout.
     
    59:02
    Stana leaves CSKA's net.
     
    58:22
    Another icing by Spartak, putting on some desperate defence.
     
    58:06
    Icing Spartak.
     
    58:00
    Two minutes to go in the third.
     
    57:45
    Alexander Radulov takes the puck into the zone on the left side and gets a feed across the area to Ilari Filppula on the right post who is alone past the defence, but Glass doesn't allow it to go in and keeps Spartak in the game.
     
    57:18
    Icing Spartak.
     
    57:13
    It will be extremely interesting until the very end as CSKA now have a chance to come back completely. I wonder when we'll see Stana leave the net.
     
    56:19
    Goal for CSKA! A one-timed blast from OLEG SAPRYKIN right off the faceoff on the left side, the puck didn't even leave the circle, and the lead is cut to only a goal difference.

    Assist: Brandon Reid.
     
    54:56
    And just as I say it, Spartak take a 2-on-1 breakaway to the net over the left side and instead of passing, the puck carrier goes to the right post while the other guy takes the defenceman away, though the shot comes just wide.
     
    53:43
    Offside CSKA. Spartak play rock-solid defence, but can't get to the net up front, while CSKA are eager to catch up.
     
    52:59
    Radulov gets the pass on the blueline, goes all the way to behind the net and sends a feed in deking two defencemen from his back, but CSKA just can't find a way to the net.
