Yuzhny Ural Orsk came from behind three times and took the Club Friendly Games matchup 4-3 over HC AKM Tula in overtime. The home side forced the extra session with a 58th-minute equalizer after AKM had moved ahead at 51:00, then won the game in the OT period.
AKM opened the scoring at 6:00 and held a 1-0 lead after the first period. Yuzhny Ural leveled at 24:00, but AKM struck again at 40:00 to make it 1-2 through two. The third period swung repeatedly — 46:00 tie, 51:00 AKM lead, 58:00 Yuzhny tie — before the overtime winner.
The defining number was Yuzhny Ural’s response: three equalizers at 24:00, 46:00 and 58:00, followed by the decisive OT goal. That resilience, rather than any single scorer, carried the home club to a 4-3 final.
