		Ufa was able to win this game and took the lead of the overall by 2-1! Barys had a superb 1,5 minutes with scoring two consecutive goals but finally Salavat Yulaev was able to retook the domination and the win also. It's 5-2 finally, and 2-1 in the overall. Follow the next match tomorrow too! Thanks for attention! ---- (16:32:36)
	60:00	Game over.
	59:05	Goal for Salavat Yulaev! PIHLSTRÖM got the puck, had a solo and scored from a very sharp angle on the right side! 5-2!
	58:50	It would be a wonder, if Barys could score 2 goals. Empty net now by visitors!
	58:23	Nice save by Yeremeyev after the close shot by Zinoviev from the right side!
	57:30	Rudenko missed a chance again, Vasilevsky saved!
	57:10	Ufa is reserving their advantage, focusing totally on defence now.
	56:30	Pushkarev shot in the middle, Vasilevsky was able to deflect it! It was a huge bomb!
	55:40	Time is ticking and Ufa is still in a 2 goal advantage.
	54:10	Barys is trying hard now but Ufa is desperate on defence.
	52:40	Bochenski left the rink totally, it looks to be an injury, game was stopped for 2 minutes due to this.
	52:35	Ufa is trying to possess the puck as much as possible.
	51:45	Barys is risking, attacking Ufa players at the full part of the rink.
	50:40	Starchenko is penalised for 2 minutes. 2 men are in the penalty box by Barys!
	50:20	Hartikainen had a very strong shot from the right side, Yeremeyev saved it!
	49:10	Proshkin is penalised for 2 minutes as well as Pushkaryov. 4 against 4.
	49:10	Pushkaryov had a chance to shoot a bouncing puck but missed it, Vasilevsky saved.
	48:11	Goal for Salavat Yulaev! This goal looks to be very important for home team! HARTIKAINEN got a nice pass in the middle by Kulda, and Ufa player bombed the puck into the net! 4-2!
	47:35	Pihlström shot from the right side, Yeremeyev showed a great save!
	47:00	Ufa is killing the time too much, they should have focus on attacks, 1 goal is nearly nothing in ice hockey.
	46:00	Dubrovsky had a shot on the left side, Yeremeyev grabbed the puck! Commercial break is on.
	45:50	Barys is more active now, but the defence of Ufa is serious.
	44:50	Semyonov shot from the left side, it missed the goal on wide.
	44:05	It was bad to see, Ankudinov slid and fell onto the goal of Yeremeyev while in attack, he was pushed by a defender. His shoulder is painful.
	43:31	Dubrovsky slid to offside.
	43:15	Barker's very distant shot from the left side was stuck on a defender's body.
	42:45	Barys is trying to put pressure on Ufa, they start to destroy the white-team's attacks. I think it's too early for it.
	42:30	Too long pass by Stepanov, faceoff is going to be at the goal of Vasilevsky.
	41:10	First shot was by Ankudinov, it was blocked by defenders.
	40:40	Can Salavat Yulaev decide the match finally, or Barys find another goals?
	40:01	Start of 3rd period.
		This match seemed to be over for Astana in the middle of this period, but Ufa missed the best opportunities either! Barys stood up and scored twice in the last 2 minutes. I cannot believe, how Salavat players allowed Astana to wake up. The 3 goal advantage is reduced to 1 goal and everything is open. It's 3-2 now, stay with us for the closing (?) period! ----
	40:00	2nd period finished.

	37:45	Offside by Barys, Kudroc slid into the zone too early.
	36:55	Full strength for Barys Astana again, it's a rare moment.
	36:40	Midfield play is on now, but it's spectacular, that Ufa could have scored more goals in the last 8-10 minutes.

	34:50	Penalty by Barys Astana, Pushkarev is again out for 2 minutes.

	32:00	One man is back but still power play for Salavat Yulaev.

	24:45	Pihlström fired from the right from a sharp angle, but in a good chance.
	24:05	Kulda shot from the left, then Yeremeyev grabbed the puck in front of Koltsov.
	23:35	There are several little breaks in the game, so they cannot play continuously now. Barys is possessing the puck more.
	22:55	Huge shot by Vasilevsky from the left, Yeremeyev saved it with his gloves. The first chance by Ufa in this period.
	22:40	Pass towards Rakhmanov was too long, faceoff by Astana.

	20:20	Immediately Pushkarev got the puck in the middle, had a close shot, but not pure, Vasilevsky guided his net.
	20:01	Start of 2nd period.
		Ufa is really trying to dominate the game, they have more attacks and more big chances. They have already scored 3 times, it can be a good start for a win. It's 2-0 now, stay with us after the break too! ----

	16:15	Salavat Yulaev was able to double their advantage in the power play. Can Barys stand up and change the game? Still much time left!
	16:05	Ankudinov fell onto the ice, but no penalty, despite it looked to be a harsh foul by a Barys defender.
