    54:33
    Goal for Avangard! The referee's took their time but it's concluded that the puck had already crossed the line before the whistle was blown, it's credited to SERGEY KOSTITSYN and it's 4-1!
     
    54:33
    Popov and Kostitsyn almost try and push Ivanov into the goal with the puck, but the referees stop the play. And to see if the puck had already crossed the line they're going upstairs for help
     
    53:36
    Penalty here against the visitors, for having too many players on the ice they've been penalised and their coach isn't happy about it at all. Alexey Krutov will sit this one out for his team
     
    52:10
    Ruzicka! What a chance for him to finish the game! 2 on 1 breakaway, he holds the puck brilliantly and floors his defender, but when it seems easier to score he smacks the bar!
     
    50:53
    Goal for Spartak! Just after their powerplay ended they manage to get on the board! IGOR VOLKOV on the doorstep puts a loose puck past Mezin and into the right hand corner, 3-1! Assists- Denis Bodrov
     
    48;48
    Despite that goal Avangard are running into a bit of penalty trouble, Maxim Goncharov is now off to the box for interference
     
    47:26
    Goal for Avangard! Shorthanded goal for the hosts and it's a beauty! ALEXANDER PEREZHOGIN spins elegantly away from his defender, and backhands it through Ivanov and into the net, 3-0! Assists- Alexander Popov
     
    47:15
    For holding Semin is punished by the referee's and Spartak have a powerplay opportunity to try and get a goal
     
    39:43
    Big chance for Spartak! Mezin loses sight of the puck with bodies around him, but not one of the Spartak sticks can poke it over the line!
     
    30:49
    Ivanov against Ivanov! The Avangard forward one times it form the top of the crease, but Spartak's Ivanov positions himself well!
     
    30:33
    Now for long though. Tom Wandell for checking to the head has picked up a 2+10 penalty, and he won't appear on to the ice for another ten minutes although after two his team will be at full strength again
     
    28:15
    Avangard are putting the pressure on once again and they've got themselves a powerplay, for holding Alexey Grishin is penalised
     
    26:25
    Kulik! Bursts into the crease, but with the backhand from a great position he can't get the better of Mezin! Excellent chance to get his team back into the game
     
    25:17
    First penalty of the second period and it's against the hosts, too many players have been caught on the ice and Spartak go on the powerplay. Andrey Ivanov will sit this one out for his team
     
    14:52
    They have a chance here to get a foothold in the game though, Kostitsyn is off to the penalty box for holding and they have two minutes on the powerplay
     
    12:13
    Goal for Avangard! Ivanov gives up a big rebound on a Perezhogin slapshot and on the crease STEFAN RUZICKA is there to send the puck home, powerplay goal and it's 2-0! Assists- Ivan Baranka and Alexander Perezhogin
     
    10:50
    Powerplay coming up here for Avangard. Evgeniy Kulik for tripping has been given a two minute minor against his name
     
    08:24
    Shirokov! He waits for Ivanov to go down, fires into what already seems like an open net but the goalkeeper makes a great glove save!
     
    01:30
    Goal for Avangard! ALEXANDER PEREZHOGIN holds the puck brilliantly, skates all around Spartak's zone before unleashing a pacy wrist shot into Ivanov's left hand corner, 1-0! Assists- Ivan Baranka
