The first match of the home series began unsuccessfully for the CSKA. On the very second minute, Yaroslav Likhachev brought Amur forward. Soon CSKA got a chance to draw extra, but it didn't work out. 0:1 to the first break in favor of the guests.
For the second period, the CSKA came out with a different attitude. In the very first minute Anton Slepyshev equalized the score with an excellent throw. It is noteworthy that this goal was the first in the last four matches from a CSKA attack. Previously, only defenders scored. Alas, the fans didn't see any more goals in this period. 1:1 after 40 minutes of play.
In the third period, the CSKA was able to turn the situation around. For a long time the score remained equal, but less than five minutes before the end of the third period, Sergey Plotnikov brought CSKA forward while short-handed. Mikhail Grigorenko strengthened the leadership, scoring the third goal two and a half minutes before the end of the match. The most important victory over Amur at the start of the home series was 3:1.
