Thursday 19.09.2013, 15:00 • KHL

	60:00	Game over. (17:12:17)
	58:06	Khlyntsev fired one hard, but it ends up deflected into the netting.
	56:45	Barys is in control of the game.
	54:59	Bochenski fired one from a great position, Biryukov makes the stop and stops the rebound by Upper as well.
	53:19	Yugra is still looking competitive, but Barys wants no part of that and wants to play the rest of the game slowly to avoid injuries.
	52:35	Ahonen has made a couple of great saves on this powerplay, but it wasn't enough.
	50:35	A powerplay for Yugra coming up as Vladimir Grebenschikov (BAS) is awarded a two-minute penalty.
	47:48	Two big saves by Ahonen as losing the four-goal lead would be pretty embarrassing now.
	46:39	Good position for a shot for Yakubov, but he failed to fire it properly.
	45:38	Goal for Yugra! It's about pride now. VLADIMIR GORBUNOV fires an accurate shot to beat Ahonen and prove that Yugra is able to beat a team like Barys, probably just not today. Assisted by Kirill Dyakov and Marek Trončinský.
	45:00	Goal for Barys! Four PP goals for Barys today. DUSTIN BOYD had possession behind the net and somehow managed to get to the front and find the top shelf. Unassisted.
	44:53	Vitali Sitnikov (YUG) gets two minutes.
	43:14	Goal for Barys! Big four-goal lead for Barys. Bochenski wrapped around the net and the rebound came loose to DUSTIN BOYD whose shot Biryukov had no chance of stopping. Assisted by Brandon Bochenski.
	42:35	A powerplay coming up for Barys.
	42:04	Good defence by Barys still able to keep Yugra far away from Ahonen.
	41:17	Ahonen makes his first save of the third period.
	40:01	Start of 3rd period.
	40:00	2nd period finished.
	39:44	Yakubov all alone in front, but Ahonen makes a really good save.
	38:18	Bochenski started a counter-attack, but went offside.
	36:17	Barys is in full strength after another great PK.
	35:31	The puck got loose in Ahonen's goal crease, but none of Yugra players was there before the Finnish netminder regained control of it.
	34:55	Barys simply clears the puck.
	34:17	Andrei Gavrilin (BAS) gets two minutes.
	31:27	Goal for Barys! The three-goal lead is restored by Barys. Lakiza passed the puck to a great position for MIKHAIL RAKHMANOV who had a gaping net to find with a shot. Assisted by Artemi Lakiza.
	31:07	Good pokecheck by Biryukov protects the Yugra net.
	30:13	Ahonen makes a glove save and holds on to it, first stoppage after quite a while.
	29:12	The pace is slow in the second period, both teams are trying to come out of a secured defence.
	27:08	Yugra has the puck under control now as teams are changing.
	25:52	Yugra is in full strength.

	23:52	Nikita Gusev (YUG) gets a two-minute penalty.
	22:28	Andersson fired one on Ahonen and Rakhmanov tried one on the other side against Biryukov, both goalies prevail.
	21:34	Pressure is over and Barys has possession of the puck.
	20:48	Yugra started out settling in the offensive zone, but has now lost it after a blocked shot.
	20:01	Start of 2nd period.
	20:00	1st period finished.
	19:22	Barys defending well and creating a breakaway opportunity, but nothing comes out of it.
	18:24	Yugra looks really powered by that goal and has Barys under pressure for now.
	17:28	Goal for Yugra! Yugra finally gets on the board and might make this game even more interesting. Great pass by Yakubov left ALEXEI PEPELYAYEV with nothing but wide-open net staring at him and so the defenseman converted the powerplay into a goal. Assisted by Mikhail Yakubov and Anton Krysanov.
	16:34	Short 5-on-3 coming up for Yugra as Brandon Bochenski (BAS) gets called for boarding.
	16:17	Savinainen got first to the rebound in front of Ahonen, but his fellow countryman made a big stop.
	15:14	Barys still has the game under control and is getting more chances than Yugra on this powerplay!
	14:40	Just as Magogin left the penalty box, Dmitri Upper (BAS) gets called for kneeing.

	11:40	The visiting team is in control and it looks like it will be tough for Yugra to come back into this one.
	09:29	Goal for Barys! Another powerplay goal for Barys! BRANDON BOCHENSKI had room in front of the net and simply fired one past Biryukov to give his team a huge three-goal lead midway through the first period. Assisted by Nigel Dawes and Evgeni Blokhin.
	08:29	Goal for Barys! And Barys scores on a two-man-advantage! A pass from the left wing found ALEXEI LITVINENKO ready in the right circle and he just blasted one past Biryukov. Assisted by Talgat Zhailauov.
	07:51	Vladimir Gorbunov (YUG) gets a minor penalty, a long 5-on-3 coming up for Barys.
	07:39	Almost 2-0, but Biryukov made a spectacular save.
