SKA-Neva closed out a 3-1 regulation win over Gornyak UMMC, seizing control with a goal in each of the first two periods and adding a decisive strike early in the third. The home side never trailed, and Gornyak's late reply came too late to change the outcome.
SKA-Neva opened the scoring at 8:00 and doubled the lead at 29:00, carrying a 2-0 edge into the second intermission. A third goal at 46:00 put the game out of reach, with Gornyak UMMC's only response arriving at 56:00 to make it 3-1.
The defining number was the early cushion: three unanswered goals before Gornyak found the net. SKA-Neva's even-strength pressure across all three periods kept the visitor's comeback bid in check, sealing a clean regulation victory.
