After having played for 14 minutes, Igor Kureev managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

Tyumen's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Stanislav Rakhimov was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-2. Disappointed in the 1-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Igor Kureev to make the kick off. Tyumen's Roman Semenov proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 54th minute of the match, managed to save Tyumen from getting a goal against them. Danil Knyazev charged in rather forcefully in the 55th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Danil Knyazev the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. A collision led to Tyumen getting a freekick after 55 minutes play. Danil Knyazev hit a great ball. Yakov Zhigunov fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 62nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Dmitriy Komissarov having to interfere. After some careless play in the Tyumen defense, Stanislav Rakhimov kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Roman Semenov.

Yakov Zhigunov took the ball and in the 97 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Dmitriy Komissarov. Dmitriy Komissarov dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 3-3.
