    Cska presented themselves as very disciplined team. probably too disciplined. They applied some pressure in second and third period, but to be fair – home team scored twice in opening period to decide the game. the rest was unsuccessfull hunt by guests, well blocked by Traktor. Army Team got goal closer several minutes before regular time expired, but Traktor managed to score EN goal at the end.
