    Final word: Amur proved as tough opposition. Opening period was poor, few shots were shot on both sides, but guests managed to score. Second period was more fluent, teams presented more skating and bigger wish, but Traktor didn't succeed in their hunt for equalizing goal. Some chances to score happened to Amur too, but nets remained untouched. Crowd saw expected offensive of Traktor in third period and when they equalized quikly in powerplay the momentum seemed to be in their hands. They scored again quickly, but refs dissalowed goal. None of the teams managed to score a winning goal in remaining minutes and focused mainly on defense during overtime.
    Shootout was lottery as always is. Lauris Darzins scored twice and was well supported by Michael Garnett and Traktor won the game.
