First Half: Krylia Draw First Blood

Krylia Sovetov-2 started brightly, pressing high and forcing Ural-2 into early errors.

The home side came out with renewed energy after the break.

Krylia Sovetov-2, however, defended resolutely and even had a chance to snatch victory late on, but a header from a corner went just wide.
