The next hero was Miskic again. After the half-time he made an interception and finished the counter-attack himself with an assist by Vyacheslav Podberezkin, that was the first ever goal by Croatian for Ural. Gamid Agalarov spoiled the day for Ilya Pomazun, when he scored with ten minutes to go in the second half.
