Gornyak UMMC earned a 1-0 regulation win over HC Magnitka Magnitogorsk, taking the road decision in a one-goal VHL game. The winner came inside regulation, with no overtime or shootout required.
The official period-goal ledger showed 0-0 in each frame, leaving the score dead even on the running sheet through the listed periods. The game stayed tight and grinding, decided by forecheck pressure and one goal on the night rather than an open flow of chances.
The defining number was the 1-0 final: one regulation tally, zero extra time. Gornyak UMMC did not need a multi-goal push; it made its single advantage stand up while keeping Magnitka off the board.
