    69:00

    Avtomobilist is trying to possess the puck as much as possible, avoiding Astana to build colourful attacks.
     
    21:40
    What can Barys do with this? Can they spin up their speed or try to reckon on counters?
     
    20:36

    CHERNOV got the puck in the middle and scored the first goal. Avtomobilist in advantage! 0-1!
     
    20:01
    Start of 2nd period.
