The Moscow CSKA players played the match with great desire, seeking revenge for the recent defeat in St. Petersburg. In the first period, our team had a real chance to score the goal when Vitaly Abramov was in an advantageous position, but delayed the shot a little. And SKA pocketed its chance and opened the score with the efforts of Mikhail Vorobyov. CSKA managed to win back in the second period. Mikhail Grigorenko's throw, which was initially announced as the author of the goal, was corrected by Maxim Mamin on a slot. The hosts were inspired and could well have scored in the third 20 minutes. But sometimes there was no luck, and the guests punished hosts for it. The two of them went out against one defender and it ended with Zemchenko's goal. In the last minutes, our team took off the goalkeeper and the six of them were close to success, but luck did not favor us.
