Spectators: 6044 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1944, VIP seats: 100) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Nikolay Budakov started the match with the kick off. Lev Alferov fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 4th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Aleksandr Krasilnikov having to interfere. Lev Alferov scored 1-0 in the 10th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Aleksandr Krasilnikov, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Aleksandr Krasilnikov showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Valeriy Aripov in the 18th minute of the match. Roman Naumkin recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 21st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Semen Burlyay took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Grigoriy Krivosheev, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Thanks to some nice moves Anatoliy Isaev could shoot a difficult shot in the 29th minute, which Aleksandr Krasilnikov however easily saved by the left post. With a little luck, Glazov's Aleksandr Krasilnikov got control of the ball when Lev Alferov tried to sneak it across the goal line. If Valeriy Aripov had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 31st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Glazov's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Valeriy Aripov 34 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 2-0.

51 minutes into the match, Nizhnekamsk's goal looked a bit too open when Nikolay Budakov came free, but Semen Burlyay reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Nikolay Budakov was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 55th minute. Glazov's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. The supporters of Glazov booed when Nizhnekamsk was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 57 match minutes in a wonderful position. Vyacheslav Tverdovskiy didn't get a good kick on the ball. Nizhnekamsk's defense didn't have a chance, in the 59th minute, when Nikolay Budakov scored to the left of an out of position Semen Burlyay, making the score, 3-1. Grigoriy Krivosheev's shot straight on target was not completely harmless. The ball had pretty good speed, but Semen Burlyay firmly grabbed it by the left post. Semen Burlyay made a fantastic save in the 64th minute, when Grigoriy Krivosheev sent off a good shot on target. After 66 minutes, Boris Kochuev mouthed his way into the referee's book.
