The first period of the match in Ufa was not the most successful for the CSKA. The hosts had the advantage, and in the ninth minute, Ufa's captain Grigory Panin opened the scoring. The defender found himself alone on the CSKA spot, easily transferring the puck between Sharychenkov's shields. CSKA also had some good chances, but the score did not change before the break. 1:0 in favor of Salavat Yulaev.
In the second twenty-minute, the CSKA players attacked the goals of Salavat Yulaev. Vitaly Abramov had one of the most dangerous moments. The CSKA striker's throw hit the crossbar of Yezhov's goal. There were several 2-on-1 breakouts, but, unfortunately, Sergey Fedorov's team was let down by the implementation. At the second break, the hosts took the lead with a similar score.
In the third period, the game continued in a similar way. CSKA pressed to win back, and the hosts held on to a minimal advantage. It bore its fruit, but in the middle of the third period Sergey Plotnikov corrected Nikita Nesterov's throw and equalized the score — 1:1. Thus the score remained the same until overtime, in which the Ufa club was helped by an accident. Alexander Khmelevsky took advantage of the confusion at the goals of CSKA and brought victory to his team.
