    59:32
    Goal for Barys!
    A quick counter attack gives the home team the win! BOYD had a solo in the middle and bombed into the net! 5-2!!
     
    59:20
    This match is lasting very long despite not having an overtime. Time out by Ufa, I believe, Vasilevski is going to be substituted by a field player to risk everything.
     
    59:05
    We're into the last minute, game looks to be decided. Offside by Zaborsky.
     
    58:25
    Rudenko missed the puck in front of the goal, in clear chance, so it's now out of danger!
     
    58:00
    Dubrovsky fired in the middle, it was very dangerous, Vasilevski saved!
     
    57:34
    Kulda shot beyond the blue line, out of bounds.
     
    57:05
    Ufa in attack, Slepishev shot from the right, a defender blocked him.
     
    56:20
    Both teams are in full strength.
     
    55:55
    Barys is focusing on defence mainly, being in a 2 goal advantage.
     
    54:45
    Semyonov had a great shooting chance, he fired in the middle clear, Vasilevski was able to save!
     
    54:05
    2 minute penalty for Kulda. And Pushkaryov also out for 2 minutes. 4 against 4 now.
     
    54:00
    Pushkaryov suffered an offside now.
     
    53:45
    Full strength for both teams, Ufa has only 6 minutes left.
     
    53:25
    Teams are slower now after this very long unexpected break.
     
    52:20
    I don't know why game is standing again. Referees are receiving complains.
     
    52:20
    Upper had a too long pass ahead.
     
    51:45
    Barker is penalised surely, he's in the penalty box. The match is running very slow in the last few minutes due to the number of problems.
    Proshkin also out and Antropov. in the penalty box too. Starchenko also in the penalty box. On the field now 4 against 4.
     
    51:45
    What a nervous match! Again boxing, Barker is in it, Khlystov is in it, Antropov, Barker again!
     
    51:45
    Simple power play for Barys for 45 more seconds.
     
    51:10
    Savchenko fired in the middle, Vasilevski guided his net. But while the time is running in front of visitors' goal, it's beneficial for Astana.
     
    51:00
    One penalty is out, now 4 against 3 for Barys.
     
    50:40
    Yes, Sopel is also out, 3 men out by visitors.
     
    50:40
    It looks like Sopel is also out by Salavat. But it's officially not cleared.
     
    50:40
    Yes, penalty, unbelievable. Kulda (who started the problem) and Starchenko both out. I think the penalty is 2 minutes for both.
     
    50:40
    Litvinenko and Sopel have a row, it is going to be a penalty again?
     
    50:25
    Now 4 against 4.
     
    50:00
    A defender was able to push the puck out of the Ufa zone.
     
    49:32

    48:58
    Another penalty, but this time, Antropov is out for 2 minutes. Power play lost due to this hooking. 4 against 4.
     
    48:45
    Bochenski jumped after a bouncing puck to the left to try to shoot, but it was too wide. Then a shot by Antropov was blocked by Vasilevski.
     
    48:20
    Barys in power play formation.
     
    48:04
    Vasilevsky is out for 2 minutes due to a penalty. Reason: tripping. 2 minute power play for Barys after the commercial break. Big chance for Astana to decide the match!
     
    47:50
    The task is clear, Barys has to hold on the challenge and focus on proper defence and in addition on counter attacks. On the other hand, Ufa has to score a goal as soon as possible to stay in touch with this match.
     
    46:42
    Goal for Barys!
    Bochenski gave a superb pass for GAVRILIN to the left side, and he bombed the puck into the net! 4-2 for Barys Astana!!
     
    45:15
    Salavat Yulaev is taking a bit more risk now, possessing the puck more than Barys. It's OK, they need a goal very much. Barys can build on counters.
     
    44:05
    Ufa in attack, Yeremeyev was able to push the puck out, then Dubrovsky had a shot from the right side, Yeremeyev again showed a superb save!
     
    43:30

    42:45
    Sagadeyev had a crossshot from the left side, but no one followed the action in the middle.
     
    42:05
    Teams are careful now, no shots yet.
     
    40:01
    Start of 3rd period.
     
    Barys scored 3 consecutive goals and finally took the lead at the end of the second period despite being in a 2 goal adrift earlier on.
    Astana has played a superb game so far after 0-2 and now have great chance to win the game and equalise!
    It's 3-2 now, stay with us for the final period!
