	59:56	Not much came, Borisov before his target again...
	60:00	Game over.
		An almost boring game with an interesting finish: Avtomobilist won in Mytishchi with one goal advantage. The first period was the decided one, with three goals from the away team in 10 minutes. Their job was done then, and Atlant can't equalize in the end, in spite of the late goal by Yashin.
