When Vitaliy Pestrov came up free with the goalie in the 5th minute, the Bristol Centre fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Vitaliy Pestrov couldn't finish the play. In the 14th minute Stanislav Galitskiy shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Vitaliy Zimin saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Vadim Kalandinskiy could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 16th minute of the match, but Leonid Gulyanov made a huge save. In the 20th minute the ball was on its way in behind Eton's goalkeeper Leonid Gulyanov, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Vadim Kalandinskiy struck a weak shot in the 26th minute. Leonid Gulyanov didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Bristol Centre. Vadim Kalandinskiy scored 2-0 in the 33rd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Leonid Gulyanov, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Eduard Kudryavskiy to make the kick off. Leonid Gulyanov took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Erast Zheltuhin, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. After a rather tough play, Eton's Aleksey Tyulenin got a free kick in the 57th minute. Vadim Kalandinskiy blasted a shot towards the goal in the 58th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Leonid Gulyanov having to make a save. Leonid Gulyanov stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Vadim Kalandinskiy's shot from short distance in the 61st minute. If Vitaliy Pestrov had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 62nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. 64 minutes into the game, Pavel Broshin was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Eton's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Bristol Centre the free kick.

Aleksey Tyulenin sent away a hard shot on goal in the 73rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Leonid Gulyanov showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Genrikh Zaznobin in the 90th minute of the match. If Vadim Kalandinskiy had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 91st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.
