Khimik 75 Arsenal 87

// 28 January 2004

After the confident win of Khimik in the first play-off game their fans didn’t expect to see Arsenal in Odessa in 8 days again – but poor play of the Ukrainians in Tula made the decisive game today necessary.

The first minutes of the match resembled the first one at the Sport Palace of Odessa, but it was like a mirror image: this time the home team was first to score and the guests scored 9 in a row. And not Anatoli Mischkin but Zvezdan Mitrovic, Head Coach of the Ukrainians, was forced to take a time-out.
