Pervouralsk
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Savva Mironenko took the kick off in the first half of the match. The audience was convinced that Stanislav Muravev's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Oleg Ivanchuk was relentless in the 4th minute of the game. Oleg Ivanchuk came out of the goal in the 14th minute to try and stop a shot by Nevinnomyssk's Stanislav Muravev. But to his dismay, Stanislav Muravev quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. Matvey Lopuhov charged in rather forcefully in the 23rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Matvey Lopuhov the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Denis Belov kicked well hit freekick during the 25th minute of the match. If Veniamin Shmakov had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Savva Mironenko fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 34th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Vladislav Muhin having to interfere. With a little luck, Nevinnomyssk's Vladislav Muhin got control of the ball when Savva Mironenko tried to sneak it across the goal line. 40 minutes into the game, Stanislav Muravev cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-2. Oleg Ivanchuk was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Veniamin Shmakov sent away a hard shot on goal in the 46th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Oleg Ivanchuk showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Stanislav Muravev, who was totally free with the ball in the 49th minute. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-2 lead.

The supporters of Nevinnomyssk booed when Pervouralsk HC was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 53 match minutes in a wonderful position. Konstantin Demidenko didn't get a good kick on the ball. Veniamin Shmakov recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 56th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Oleg Ivanchuk was a little too slow when Stanislav Muravev got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 58th minute. The score was now 0-3. 1-3 became the score in the 66th minute when Savva Mironenko elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. Matvey Lopuhov received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 76th minute. Vladislav Muhin tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 78 minutes into the match, Pervouralsk HC's goalkeeper Oleg Ivanchuk had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Veniamin Shmakov.

Vladislav Muhin made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 2-3. Stanislav Muravev struck a weak shot in the 93rd minute. Oleg Ivanchuk didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Nevinnomyssk. After a defensive mix-up in Pervouralsk HC's zone, Stanislav Muravev stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Oleg Ivanchuk came out of the goal and Stanislav Muravev tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Stanislav Muravev received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 97th minute. Oleg Ivanchuk tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Nevinnomyssk played a much better game than Pervouralsk HC and deserved their victory. The Pervouralsk HC players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
