		The game was full of action in the first 40 minutes but lack of goals. In the last period we saw 4 goals, the last one was 9 minutes before the end. Overtime was also nearly equal, but Koltsov finally decided the game for Salavat Yulaev Ufa. Final results: Ufa – Astana 3-2. Overall standings: 3-1 for Salavat Yulaev! Thanks for attention! ---- (16:49:13)
		Game over.
	65:00	Goal for Salavat Yulaev! KOLTSOV decided the game finally with a great bomb after a superb action! Hartikainen passed to Koltsov, then he did so to Stepanov, finally Koltsov got it back, tricked to the left side, and bombed into the net from a sharp angle! 3-2, game over!
	64:50	Ufa still not able to shoot during this penalty.
	63:52	2 minute penalty for Rudenko. Power play for Salavat Yulaev Ufa.
	63:20	Bochenski fired in the middle, Vasilevsky guided his net. Again a danger!
	62:51	Pihlström bombed from the left side from a good shadow, Yeremeyev saved it well!
	62:10	No shots in the last 1,5 minutes and no chance.
	60:42	Khlystov had a getaway on the left side, shot, Yeremeyev guided his net.
	60:10	Compeltely open and hard to imagine which team is going to score this win today.
	60:01	Overtime began.
		Ufa crowd simply cannot believe it, they needed only 9 more seconds to guide the net but failed to do so. Barys was trying really everything and they were able to equalise the match. Now 15 minutes of break and the overtime begins. It's 2-2 now, stay with us for the overtime and the decision! ----
	60:00	3rd period finished.
	59:51	Goal for Barys! Barys has done it again! Only 9 seconds to go, UPPER got the puck very close to the net on the left side, and passed it into it. 2-2!
	59:36	6 field players for Astana!
	59:15	Ufa's defence is good now, attacking Barys!
	58:50	Ufa is only destroying attacks now.
	58:20	Can Salavat Yulaev do it this time? Only 100 seconds to go, I think Barys will substitute the goalie for a field player.
	58:15	3 goals already, it's getting better. Barys is very desperate to attack all out!
	57:46	Goal for Salavat Yulaev! The crowd is in extasy! MAKAROV got the puck from the right side by Stepanov and Makarov bombed from the middle into the net! 2-1 again!
	57:30	Barys is doing a good defence, not allowing to shoot the greens.
	56:05	Kaigorodov had a chance near the goal on the right side, Yeremeyev saved, and Vishnevskiy also fired in the middle, goalie won the battle!
	55:46	Time out by Barys now.
	55:46	2 minute penalty for Pushkarev. Power play for Salavat Yulaev, a big chance for scoring!
	55:46	Pihlström had a shot, it was blocked in the middle.
	55:16	Barys stayed in attack, Ufa has to hold on the challenge now. But I believe Astana is going to be a bit slower now.
	54:35	Goal for Barys! It was clear for me, that Barys is playing in too big domination that it would have been too hard for Ufa to escape 18 minutes so. Starchenko brought the puck in, DAWES shot in the middle, into the net! 1-1! Everything is open again.
	54:15	Game is continuous now, Barys has had already 32 shots today, Salavat has had 20.
	53:30	Barys is now using the reserved energies, starting for every puck and dominating the field. Trying everything to have shooting position.
	52:55	Full strength for both teams now.
	52:25	Ufa is trying to focus on defence, it's clear. Not building too many actions.
	52:08	Antropov passed to the wrong place, offside.
	51:20	Bochenski got a gift puck in front of the opponent goal, had a shot from the right side, Vasilevsky was on the right place.
	50:50	Starchenko and Ankudinov are both penalised for 2 minutes due to roughing. 4 against 4 now.
	50:50	Again a boxing match in the middle, Starchenko and Antropov were too nervous, but Starchenko more.
	50:00	Bochenski was not able to push the puck through Vasilevsky on the right side of the goal.
	49:24	Vasilevsky needed a safety save at the back. Commercial break is on now.
	48:50	Astana is attacking more now after the goal, but Salavat is doing the defence well now, but possessing the puck too little I think.
	48:30	Zubarev lost his stick but got finally a new one.
	47:30	Semyonov shot in the middle, it was threatening, but finally missed the goal by 1-2 centimeters.
	46:20	Danger, but escaped by Salavat. Boyd was able to fire in the middle, a defender blocked him at the last second.
	45:25	Offside by Salavat Yulaev, Mirnov was faster than the puck.
	44:50	Blokhin fired from the left side from shadow, Vasilevsky blocked it, game not stopped.

	43:55	Salavat nearly doubled the advantage after the shot of Kulda, but Yeremeyev was able to deflect it!
	43:25	Yesterday we saw 6 goals already this time, but today only one, the first one was left really late.
	42:50	Barys clearly has to take more risk and give up strong defence to score. They need to dominate in attacking but it gives way for Ufa to score too.
	41:56	Goal for Salavat Yulaev! MIRNOV led a counter attack in the middle and bombed the puck from the blue line right into the net! 1-0 for Ufa!!
	41:45	Both teams are in full strength now.
	41:07	Kulda shot from the left, Yeremeyev closed the angle well.
	40:01	Start of 3rd period.
		Yesterday, we had already 5 goals this time of the match, but now we haven't got any, unfortunately. I hope, we can watch goals in the 3rd period, it really needs a fan of ice hockey. It's still 0-0, stay with us for the next period as well! ----
	40:00	2nd period finished.
	39:41	Big fight on the ice after a save of Yeremeyev. Savchenko and Hartikainen had a row, it's going to be a penalty now. Yes, 2 penalties. Both of them got 2 minutes of penalty.
	39:10	Ankudinov fired on the left side, Yeremeyev blocked it.
	38:49	Offside, Kaigorodov slid to offside on the right side.

	28:05	Pihlström was close to shoot but a defender denied him in the very loas moment.
	27:54	Ankudinov fired in the middle in the right hand side circle, Yeremeyev had no problems to get it.
