From the first minutes, CSKA began to act from a position of strength. The CSKA had some great moments. Dynamo, on the contrary, responded much less often, so the first puck from CSKA completely flowed out of the course of the match. The CSKA team earned a throw-in in the home zone, Tahir Mingachev won it and gave a pass to Vitaly Abramov. The CSKA striker hit the far corner of Volkov's goal with an accurate throw — 0:1. Interestingly, the goal was taken at the time of 11:11, and Abramov also performs at number 11. This goal was the only one in the opening period.
In the second period, CSKA continued to play, as in the first. The CSKA managed to play in the power play twice – Kudryavtsev and Martynov were dissmissed from Dynamo. Alas, it was not possible to increase the gap in the score. During the period, Maxim Mamin and Anton Slepyshev did not convert the outputs of 1 to 0. But the hosts took advantage of their chance – Dmitry Rashevsky ran to Sharychenkov's goal and sent the puck into the net with an uncomfortable hand — 1:1. The second period ended with this score.
After the break, the game leveled off, which played into the hands of the hosts. Dmitry Rashevsky scored a double and put Dynamo ahead for the first time in the match. For a long time, the blue and white controlled the course of the match, but the CSKA managed to show character. Less than five minutes before the end of the match, Mikhail Grigorenko equalized the score — 2:2. First, the game went into overtime, and then into a shootout. At the decisive moment, Mikhail Grigorenko performed a bullit masterpiece, and Anton Slepyshev consolidated the success. Alexander Sharychenkov repelled all five Dynamo shootouts. Winning the derby!
