		Thank you for following the match with us! For the coverage of the other KHL games this afternoon, have a look at our schedule! (17:08:28)
		Salavat Yulayev Ufa didn't do more than necessary in the last 20 minutes and had little trouble defending their three-goal lead to win this match 4-1 against newcomers Admiral who never were able to come back into this match after a painful first period. Shots on goal: Salavat Yulayev 5 (27) – Admiral 13 (33)
	60:00	Game over.
	59:52	Kirill Koltsov with a shot from right to the guest net but Ivannikov gets an easy save.
	58:31	Alexei Kaigorodov (Salavat Yulayev) gets two minutes for tripping – if nothing else happens we'll see a 4 on 4 until the end of the match.
	58:31	Konstantin Sokolov (Admiral) gets two minutes for tripping.
	57:44	Admiral try it with another shot from the left circle, blocked by Volkov.

	55:33	Evgeny Grachyov and Konstantin Sokolov fail from short distance against Ufa goalie Volkov.
	54:53	Brent Sopel (Salavat Yulayev) gets two minutes for tripping.
	52:50	As it looks like the timeout is paying off for the hosts as they have more puck controll again and are also able to keep the puck inside the guests' third.
	50:19	Timeout by Salavat Yulayev. Their coaching staff can't be happy that they barely come out of their own third in this third period.
	49:55	Suddenly the puck came to Admiral forward Sergei Barbashev who waited at the right post but his immidiate wrap-around attempt was stopped with a pad save by Volkov.
	48:39	The hosts survided another rather harmless power play by Admiral without harm.
	48:12	Schütz with a pass from the right circle for Bergfors but the Swede's one-timer from within the slot is stopped by Volkov.
	47:08	Felix Schütz with a shot from the left circle towards the left bottom corner but Volkov has no problems to make a save.
	46:39	Alexei Glukhov (Salavat Yulayev) gets two minutes for tripping.
	46:26	Blue line shot by the guests into the gloves of Volkov.
	45:15	The hosts are back at full strength.
	45:02	After the Ufa goalie was a attacked a little too aggressive there was a small fight between several players out of a larger crowd in front of the home team's net but the referees didn't give any penalties.
	44:47	One-timer by Admiral's Antropov from the left wing, no danger for Volkov.
	43:15	Brent Sopel (Slaavat Yulayev) gets two minutes for cross-checking. There will be a short 4-on-4 situation before the gusts have a power play.
	41:35	Konstantin Sokolov (Admiral) gets two minutes for interference.
	41:35	Igor Mirnov forced his way through the guest defense while Ufa goalie Volkov had lost his net for an additional skater but his back hander from the right circle was stopped by Ivannikov.
	41:22	Delayed penalty against guests Admiral.
	40:01	Start of 3rd period.
		Admiral were the more active side in the second period but only were able to cut the deficit to three so that the game stays more or less decided with 20 minutes left to play! Shots on goal: Salavat Yulayev 9 (22) – Admiral 14 (20)
	40:00	2nd period finished.
	38:52	2-on-2 attack by the Admiral offense but the following one-timer by Enver Lisin from within the slot didn't cause much trouble for Ivannikov.
	38:04	Admiral's Richard Gynge tries it from the right circle, easy pad save for Volkov.
	35:58	A misdirected pass by Igor Mirnov inside the Admiral third almost led to a dangerous counter by the guests but three Ufa players cleared the situation in front of their net.
	35:00	Admiral try the impossible and increase their attacks. This will give Ufa room for counters with the time progressing.
	32:58	Goal for Admiral! In their second power play opportunity the guests are able to get onto the scoreboard for the first time this afternoon! A brilliant pass by Andrei Nikitenko from behind the net was used by EVGENY GRACHYOV from short distance to get the puck past Volkov. Assisted by Andrei Nikitenko.
	32:35	Dmitry Makarov (Salavat Yulayev) gets two minutes for hooking.
	32:35	Several dangerous shots on goal by the guests but the puck didn't make it through the crowd when Enver Lisin and twice Niclas Bergfors lacked precision from short distance!
	31:24	Back hand attempt by Glukhov from left to the Admiral net but Ivannikov stops the shot.
	30:43	A shot by Antti Pihlström from the right circle is blocked to the side by Ivannikov.
	29:42	Harmless shot from the right circle for Admiral just when they were back at full strength.
	28:30	The guests better pay attention now as Ufa are 2 / 2 this afternoon with a man more on ice.
	27:42	Niclas Bergfors (Admiral) gets two minutes for tripping.
	25:09	The hosts are back at full strength.
	25:08	Fast 2-on-2 counter by Ufa but their forward did it himself instead of giving a pass to the better positioned team colleague and Ivannikov had little trouble to block the shot to the side.
	24:37	Long clearance by the Ufa defense which looks very strong in this penalty killing.
	23:52	After Denis Osipov missed the puck at the Ufa blue line during a one-timer attempt, the guests had to restart their attack back in their own third.
	23:09	Anton Babchuk (Salavat Yulayev) gets two minutes for tripping.
	23:03	Admiral's Alexander Kuznetsov tries it with a shot from within the slot that is blocked by the goalie without problems.
	22:00	It's up to the guests if they want to come back in this match and so the Ufa offense waits how Admiral reacts to change their tactics if needed.
	20:30	As could have been expected the guests did change their goalies and now in the game is Evgeny Ivannikov who replaces the unlucky but chanceless Lundström.
	20:01	Start of 2nd period.
		Salavat Yulayev started with a double into the match but couldn't really gain the extra confidence they hoped for. The guests from Vladivostok found more and more into the game but another Ufa double late in the first period for a comfortable 4-0 lead leaves this game almost decided with after 20 minutes if no wonder happens. Shots on goal: Salavat Yulayev 13 – Admiral 6
	20:00	1st period finished.
	19:52	Yefim Gurkin tries it from within the slot, his shot only finds the gloves of Lundström!
	19:35	Goal for Salavat Yulaev! Now it's getting extremly bitter for the guests! After they failed to get the puck out of their third, they weren't able to stop KIRILL KOLTSOV from scoring into the wide open net after deking out Lundström at the second post despite having three players just in front of their own goalie! Assisted by Igor Mirnov and Alexei Kaigorodov.
	19:02	Goal for Salavat Yulaev! With their power play almost over TEEMU HARTIKAINEN was able to fire a puck past Lundström from short distance after receiving a pass from the left circle! Assisted by Dmitry Makarov.
	18:08	Dangerous cross-pass by Khlystov from the right circle towards the second post but no team colleague was there to get the puck.
	17:20	Artyom Ternavsky (Admiral) gets two minutes for tripping.
	16:51	Another Admiral one-timer from the blue line is blocked by an Ufa defender.
	15:00	Admiral keep the game very open now and they already had a couple of decent scoring opportunities.
	13:03	One-timer from the blue line by Admiral's Yegor Antropov but his shot is blocked by a defender.
	11:18	With early forechecking the guests win the puck behind the Ufa net but lose it shortly afterwards again and the chance is gone.
	09:30	The newcomers from Vladivostok aren't shocked at all despite the Ufa double and try to show a fast reaction.
	07:32	Goal for Salavat Yulaev! In power play the hosts are able to double their lead. A short distance shot out of the crowd was deflected by guest goalie Lundström but the rebound came to DENIS KHLYSTOV who fired the puck into the wide open net, waiting at the right post! Assisted by Andrei Zubarev and Vitaly Proshkin.
	06:51	Konstantin Sokolov (Admiral) gets two minutes for tripping.
	06:23	Goal for Salavat Yulaev! A fast 3-on-3 attack over the right wing leads to the early 1-0 lead for home side Salavat Yulayev when Teemu Hartikainen gave a brilliant pass from the right circle towards the net which was deflected past the goalie by NIKITA FILATOV. Assisted by Teemu Hartikainen and Dmitry Makarov.
	04:50	A lot of breaks in these first minutes don't let the game really develop by now.
	03:42	Icing by Ufa.
	03:13	The guests appear in front of the Ufa net for the first time but the following shot from the left circle went wide.
	02:03	A long distance shot is covered up by guest goalie Lundström who didn't want to risk anything.
	01:25	Aggressive start by Salavat Yulayev who get loud support of the home fans.
	00:01	Game started.
		Starting lineups: Salavat Yulaeyv Ufa: A. Volkov (V. Volkov) – Vishnevsky, Sopel, Zubarev, Zinovyev, Koltsov, Babchuk, Isangulov, Gurkin – Makarov, Filatov, Hartikainen, Ruzicka, Khlystov, Zinovyev, Mirnov, Pihlström, Kaigorodov, Stepanov, Glukhov, Slepyshev Admiral Vladivostok: Lundström (Ivannikov) – Osipov, Antropov, Porseland, Ternavsky, Zemchyonok, Kostromitin, Poleshchuk – Lisin, Bergfors, Schütz, Sokolov, Nikitenko, Grachyov, Pervushin, Drugov, Bortnikov, Gynge, Barbashev, Kuznetsov Referees: Deyev, Karabanov – Menshikh, Palei
		Salavat Yulayev Ufa, 2011 Gagarin Cup winner, had a somehow shaky start when they faced Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod (3-2 SO), Ak Bars Kazan (3-4 SO), Dynamo Moscow (1-4) and Vityaz Podolsk (3-2) to start the season with a four game road trip before they lost their home opener against Amur Khabarovsk (3-4 OT). For newcomers Admiral Vladivostok everything is working well so far. They started their seven game road trip with a win against Amur Khabarovsk (4-3 SO) before facing Sibir Novosibirsk (2-3), Metallurg Novokuznetsk (2-1 OT) and Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk (5-6 SO). While Ufa are 8th in the East with just 7 points in 5 games, today's guests Admiral are 12th with 5 points in 4 games. A very decent record for a new team that consists of mostly Expansion Draft players. Today Salavat Yulayev Ufa are the big favourites though as they have to proof their fans something.
		Welcome. Game starts at 14:00 GMT / 15:00 CET / 17:00 MSK.
