    It's a pity the game had to finish as it was action-packed, high-paced and utterly interesting. The host score twice quickly in the final period to bring the game to a close and seal the deal.
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:48
    Timeout Severstal. Stepanek leaves the ice.
     
    59:48
    Hooking call on Justin Hodgman (MMG), but that shouldn't have an effect on the outcome of the game.
     
    59:01
    Severstal keep up the pressure, though they can't find a way to the net while Metallurg find time an ally in these final moments.
     
    58:00
    Two minutes remain in the third period and possibly the game.
     
    57:42
    Severstal seek to put more pressure and keep the puck inside Metallurg's zone, but Pechursky doesn't seem to allow anything in.
     
    56:21
    Alexander Pechursky covers the puck in front of the crease as the shot comes from the right side and forces a stoppage in play.
     
    55:09
    It must be a horrible feeling for Severstal now as they kept the game even until the final five minutes but still don't hesitate to go on the attack and possibly bring another surprise.
     
    53:56
    Goal for Metallurg! MILAN GULAS beats Stepanek to the same side as Justin Hodgman finds him alone in the slot while Stepanek can't retrieve and Metallurg get really close to winning this one.

    Assists: Justin Hodgman, Evgeny Timkin.
     
    53:33
    Goal for Metallurg! Great offensive display by the hosts and incredible vision by their Sergei Mozyakin who sends a pass with his back turned from the right boards by the goal line and finds DANIS ZARIPOV on the left post onskating and striking into the empty net.

    Assist: Sergei Mozyakin.
     
    53:21
    Icing Severstal.
     
    52:52
    Severstal dump the puck and it could have gone in as Pechursky missed where it was going but luckily there is no one behind the net to take advantage on the play.
     
    51:38
    Pechursky makes an incredible save being already beatean throws himself back and makes a stick save before the puck could reach the line.
     
    51:30
    Evgeny Biryukov (MMG) and Nikolai Kazakovtsev (SEV) both get 5-min major for fighting.
     
    51:30
    We have a fight after a play with Biryukov (MMG) and Kazakovtsev (SEV) dropping the gloves after a play and a save by Pechursky. Kazakovtsev showed better fighting skills knocking his opponent down.
     
    50:51
    Pavel Zdunov intercepts the pass in the neutral zone but can't find the way through Stepanek going down to the net.
     
    49:45
    Bumagin misses the goal a bit too wide too high as he is alone at the right post, but the one-timer is missed.
