    Final word: guests from Minsk surprised with quite attacking approach at the start of the game and it ended with early goal for them. Pressure didn't last long and Atlant players took control of play quickly. However, home team was very ineffective and teams got into first intermission with Dinamo's one goal lead. Second period passed by with serious pressure by home team who scored twice in 10 minutes. Guests were persistent in their defensive style and didn't give much attention to attack. Final period was dull foir spectators as both teams together managed 9 shots combined. However, Atlant extended their lead to two goals in 48.minute of the game and everything seemed to be over. Well, Dinamo players did not agree and they scored their second goal 34 seconds later. After that they tried to apply some pressure, but unneccessary penalties during last three minutes destructed their attempts and Atlant won the game.
