    It's Neftekhimik's day with a thoroughly deserved 3-1 victory against Traktor Chelyabinsk! Despite falling behind to Jan Bulis's second period goal the home side came out strong in the third, and thanks to a double from Egor Milovzorov which was backed up by Bogdan Yakimov's goal they managed to get three points in a game which they dominated almost from start to finish.

    59:58
    Goal for Neftekhimik! EGOR MILOVZOROV receives the puck and unchallenged ices the game from just inside the Traktor zone, 3-1!
     
    59:32
    Yakimov from inside the zone can't hit the open net! Just over 30 seconds to go in this one
     
    59:14
    Empty net for Traktor!
     
    58:48
    Kontiola tries to charge through the Neftekhimik defence but it's proving hard to break down
     
    57:25
    Chistov holds the puck up around the net, notices the onrushing Rybakin but his shot from just outside the crease is blocked!
     
    56:35
    Traktor haven't got too much time to respond, but they are now starting for the first real time in the game to keep the puck in the opposing zone for a long time
     
    54:20
    Goal for Neftekhimik! EGOR MILOVZOROV picks up the loose puck in the Traktor zone following a poor defensive mistake and with an unstoppable effort beats Fokin upstairs, 2-1!
     
    54:10
    Maxim Rybin topples on top of the Traktor netminder and Fokin is in trouble, it seems he can carry on though
     
    53:42
    Belov strips Kontiola of the puck, skates into the zone immediately but shoots too early and it's no trouble for the goalkeeper
     
    53:00
    Belousov again tries his luck and this time it's better, Fokin has to flash leather
     
    51:34

    Icing from the home team
     
    49:07
    That equalising goal has really given Neftekhimik confidence and they are pressuring Traktor into losing the puck quickly. The visitors killed that last penalty well however and are now at full strength
     
    46:19
    Once again it's Netik from a decent position, cuts inside, but fires over! He should really have kept the puck on target
     
    45:41
    Netik! One times it when open on the right flank, but Fokin just gets there with his pads!
     
    45:25
    Chistov is punished by the referees for tripping and he's left Traktor on the penalty kill
     
    44:01
