    65:00
    Goal for Yugra!
    NIKOLAY LEMTYUGOV scores the winning penalty shot!
     
    64:02
    Kaspar! On a pacy counterattack Lukas Kaspar takes aim at the tip of the crease, and after a wicked deflection Evgeniy Ivannikov sweeps it up at the second attempt!
     
    60:49
    Shenfeld! That was almost the winner for Lada! Anton Shenfeld bursts away, under pressure twists at the doorstep, and backhands wide of the left corner! It would have been a beautiful goal!
     
    57:53
    Lada have duly taken a timeout, they know how important this moment is!
     
    57:53
    A terrible penalty has been taken by Yugra here, you simply can't do that! Artyom Bulyanskiy has been punished for holding, and it's a golden chance for Lada to snatch it!
     
    50:36
    Anton Shenfeld is slipped in with an eye of he needle pass, on the right he attempts to round the goalkeeper, and Barry Brust relies on his defencemen to bail him out!
     
    49:22
    Fyodorov! Fyodor Fyodorov is dished speeding down the middle of the zone, wrists high, and Barry Brust beats it away with his left shoulder! Yugra's goaltender is at his grumpy best today, and in the following pile up he attempts to punch one of Lada's players in the face!
     
    42:04
    A fierce slapper cannons in from the blue line, and with Evgeniy Ivannikov flat out it's bundled off the line! The pressure is growing in Lada's zone!
     
    41:02
    We already have the first penalty of the third here, as for hooking young Lada forward Anton Shenfeld has been penalised. Yugra look fired up after the break, they really want to take charge!
     
    39:22
    Shenfeld! All on his own between the circles Anton Shenfeld shoots first time, and misses the left corner by inches! That was so close!
     
    29:31
    Gusev! The home fans were on their feet there! Lada's defence backs off the onrushing Nikita Gusev, and on the doorstep he is denied by a marvellous Evgeniy Ivannikov stop!
     
    25:37
    Goal for Lada!
    That has been a feeling that it was coming! Yugra are caught short at the back, FYODOR FYODOROV is dished on the right faceoff circle, and he emphatically hits the jackpot! It's 1:1! Assists- Dmitriy Vorobyov and Alexander Streltsov
     
    21:37
    Petrov! That's the second gaping opportunity that Lada have passed up! Yury Petrov cuts in two on one down the right, sharply turns to the middle, and with Barry Brust already beaten the puck refuses to cross the line!
     
    19:55
    Fyodorov! Wow, just how didn't he hit the net! A juicy rebound falls to Fyodor Fyodorov to the right of the crease, and with an empty net to aim at he hacks it wide! Unbelievable!
     
    15:33
    They have been gifted a very important powerplay now though, as Yugra's Pavel Valentenko has been handed a two minute minor for high sticking
     
    13:22
    Korolyuk! What a fantastic chance to make it two! Brilliant build up play frees up Alexander Korolyuk at the high slot, Evgeniy Ivannikov is already out of the picture, however he gets across in time to make an heroic save!
     
    11:39
    The referee has his arm up for a penalty and it's been called against the forlorn Lada, as forward Yury Petrov is guilty of slashing
     
    05:23
    Goal for Yugra!
    Out of virtually nothing Yugra strike! The puck falls at the stick of IVAN YATSENKO at the high slot, and his fierce wristed effort trickles beyond Evgeniy Ivannikov glove side! It's 1:0! Assists- Nikita Gusev
