Sokol Krasnoyarsk beat Gornyak UMMC 5-2 in regulation, striking in the third minute and never trailing. A clean three-goal cushion through two periods gave the home side full control before the third-period exchanges.
Sokol led 1-0 after the first period, added two more in the second to make it 3-0, and pushed the margin to 4-0 at minute 45. Gornyak replied at 51:00, but Sokol answered two minutes later at 53:00 before Gornyak rounded out the scoring at 57:00.
The defining number was the 4-0 lead Sokol built by the fifth minute of the third period. Sokol also scored in every period, while the third-period split — two goals apiece — did little to change the outcome.
