    Goal for Slovan!
    A beautiful opportunity for the home side as they outnumbered the defense 3-on-2 and MILAN BARTOVIC fires a nice one into the upper left beating Stepanek on sight.

    Assist: Michel Miklik.
     
    57:06
    The game continues without stoppages for a long period now, and Severstal show proneness to mistakes in this kind of tempo.
     
    56:15
    Mihalik leaves the ice after having colided with an opponent player, but he will probably be okay.
     
    55:46
    Severstal miscommunicate on the defense and commit certain passing mistakes but still manage to keep possession, otherwise, it would have been very dangerous.
     
    54:29
    Branko Radivojevic drives the puck into the zone with a solo effort, beats three defensemen with a pass to the left circle where Mojzis awaits, but the defense closed the gap in the waning moments before the shot and blocked it.
     
    52:42
    Goal for Slovan!
    MICHAL SERSEN strikes off the blue line and levels the score just as the visitors took the lead. He beat Stepanek to the left.

    Assist: Branko Radivojevic.
     
    50:39
    Goal for Severstal!
    ALEXANDER BUMAGIN rushes from the left circle to Jaroslav Janus, goes for the five hole, but Janus makes a pad deflection, which delays the score for a little while as Bumagin recovers with a hard angle and manages to send the puck across the line.

    Assists: Evgeny Kovyrshin, Nikolai Kazakovtsev.
     
    49:32
    The tempo of the game is pretty high while the puck goes coast-to-coast so no team has real possession and there haven't been any shots lately.
     
    48:31
    Branko Radivojevic fires a nice one from behind the right circle, Stepanek deflects the puck to the crease right in front, but then dives and holds it for another stoppage.
     
    46:45
    Sersen fires from the blue, Stepanek makes the save and holds on for the whistle. The shots are currently 2-8 in favour of Severstal.
     
    45:26
    Kazakovtsev with a fine solo effort gets the puck to the crease and fires, but Jaroslav Janus is there doing what he knows best, saving his net.
     
    44:28
    Branko Radivojevic gets the pass back to the blue for Mojzis who fires at Stepanek but he gets to deflect the puck aside to the right.
     
    44:11
    Slovan back at full strength.
     
    43:35
    Vadim Berdnikov comes up with the puck in front of Janus but is well defended so he can't get a good grip on the shot.
     
    42:39
    Stolyarov fires the puck to the net, but it stops right in the crease and gets Janus the opportunity to cover and force a stoppage.
