    59:32
    Goal for SKA!
    The deal has most certainly been sealed now! TONY MARTENSSON drives forward to the left, and from just inside the attacking zone hits the empty net with ease! It's 5:2!
     
    54:45
    Goal for SKA!
    That could turn out to be such a crucial goal today! From pinned up against the boards behind the net Anton Burdasov squeezes the puck across to the doorstep, and ILYA KABLUKOV roofs it high into the right hand corner! It's 4:2! Assists- Igor Makarov and Anton Burdasov
     
    49:25
    Goal for Medvescak Zagreb!
    Completely unexpectedly Medvescak have got themselves right back into things! BILL THOMAS goes on a fantastic raid cutting in from the right, and one on one he gets the better of Evgeniy Ivannikov! It's 3:2! Assists- Martin St. Pierre and Anthony Stewart
     
    41:15
    Goal for SKA!
    That's quite a beautiful goal from SKA, that's what they're capable of! Evgeniy Dadonov brilliantly picks the puck up from behind the net on the right, plays it across to VADIM SHIPACHYOV and the latter makes it look easy slotting home! It's 3:1! Assists- Artemiy Panarin and Evgeniy Dadonov
     
    31:12
    Goal for SKA!
    The hosts are just so deadly with a man's advantage! The puck is thundered in from the high slot, Barry Brust gives up a terrible rebound and PATRICK THORESEN squeezes it over the line! Powerplay goal and it's 2:1! Assists- Tony Martensson and Roman Cervenka
     
    25:56
    Goal for Medvescak Zagreb!
    And that's a goal that Alexey Semyonov will want right back! He really poorly coughs up the puck to MARK KATIC when on his own slot, and he is free to neatly backhand it over the goalkeeper's glove! Powerplay goal and it's 1:1!
     
    18:07
    Goal for SKA!
    SKA have their craved breakthrough! On a lightning quick counterattack Ilya Kovalchuk bullies his way down the left wing, swings it across to the far post and JIMMIE ERICSSON at pace finds the five hole! It's 1:0! Assists- Ilya Kovalchuk and Viktor Tikhonov
