The Ufa players could not hit through the Avangard goalkeeper Alexander Sudnitsin for 59 minutes and 56 seconds. But the throw of Omark and the successful assist of Manninen transferred the game to overtime four seconds before the final siren.

In the additional period, the winner of the team was not identified, and the game continued in a series of shootouts. As a result, the “hawks” who realized three throws against one played by the Ufa team emerged victorious from the series. Avangard is achieving success in Ufa - 1: 2 for the second time this season.
