1:2 (0:0, 1:0, 0:1)
Ak Bars Kazan
Sunday 19.01.2014, 14:00 • Arena Mytischi (Mytischi) • KHL
     
    Ak Bars Kazan scored 2 points with this late goal, Atlant Mytishchi scored a single one.
    This match was exciting after 10 minutes but there were only 3 goals, including that very strange first one.
    Ak Bars has done more attacks in the late charge so they deserved the second point.
    Thanks for attention!

    4 against 3 for Kazan, but no shots yet.
     
    60:20
    It was misunderstandable that the referees did, but there is a power play for Ak Bars finally.

    Overtime began.

    3rd period finished.
     
    59:59
    Batyrshin also penalised for 2 minutes. No power play in sight though.
     
    59:45
    Svitov is in a slight row with the referees. 2 minute penalty for Svitov. Power play for Atlant, it's gonna be crucial for the extra time. Don't forget, normally there are 4 against 4 players in the overtime period.
     
    59:20
    Time out for Atlant Mytishchi.
     
    59:20

    56:14
    Trubachev broke the ice, he had a very nice shot from the left side, Garipov saved superbly with closing his legs!
     
    55:00
    It looks like the teams daren't take any risk for attacking instead of focusing of defence.
     
    53:50
    Stapleton had a nice solo, but his pass was not exact again. The last passes miss all the time for the teams.
