    Final word:
    What we saw was a game between two quite equal teams. There were not particularly many shots, but there was plenty of action, fast skating, imaginative solutions and great saves – everything what makes ice-hockey the greatest game of all. CSKA had some trouble during opening minutes. After they've adopted Ufa's style – they managed to put on their own pressure. Early goal by SAlavat Yulaev was levelled in 12th minute and another goal was scored in following minute. That did it for first period. Guests were – as expected – more active team in middle period and they deservedly equalized in 37th minute. Final period offered precautious game and it was clear that the winner will be the team that scores first. CSKA did it and there was not enough time for Ufa to equalize. Both teams had similar game numbers and luck could easily also turned in another way. Anyway, deserved win for Moscow side.
