Neftyanik Almetyevsk took a 3-1 decision in Penza, settled in regulation, on the back of a two-goal middle period. Dizel got on the board in that same frame but never drew level after it.
The opening 20 minutes went scoreless, 0-0, with neither side converting. The second period broke it open: Neftyanik scored twice to Dizel's one, and the visitors carried a 2-1 lead to the room. A single third-period goal made it 3-1 and closed the game out.
The decisive number is the second period, 1-2 in the visitors' favor — the only frame in which Dizel scored, and the one that decided the night. Neftyanik outscored Penza in both periods that produced goals.
