    Final word: Slovan opened the game in agressive style. It took some time for Admiral to get adopted for such style before they answered and took play on their sticks. Nice hockey didn't bring any goals in first 20 minutes, but sure entertained crowd in Vladivostok and around the globe. Vladivostok prevailed in middle period and applied some serious pressure. Slovan actually shocked crowd with opening goal and it took Admiral almost 9 minutes to level the result. From that moment on Admiral forced guests to defend in every possible way, but home team scored another goal 2 minutes before second intermission. Final period was precautious by home team and guests held posession. Penalties on home side meant a lot of hard work while defending, but Valdivostok players managed to do it. Final 42 seconds offered serious pressure by Slovan, but eventually Enver Lisin stole puck and scored empty-net goal for deserved victory for home team 15 seconds before final buzzer.
