Saturday 16.08.2014, 09:00 • Ufa Arena • Friendly matches

		Yet another backhand effort this time by Kaspars Saulietis is kicked away by the goaltender!
		Yaroslav Khabarov slides the puck between the netminder's pads for 1-0!
		Rodrigo Abols also decides to have a go with the backhand, but that isn't fooling the goalkeeper!
		Now it's Viktor Antipin for Metallurg, he takes on a wrister but the goalkeeper's glove is there!
		Juris Upitis is first for Dinamo, and when cutting to the backhand Vasiliy Koshechkin with his right pad keeps him out!
		Evgeniy Biryukov skates up first for Metallurg, but when going five hole he's shut out by Edgars Masalskis!
	59:49	Maxim Yakutseniya of Metallurg will spend the final few seconds of the game in the penalty box for holding as Dinamo are heading for a positive pre-season win
	57:39	Just as Metallurg are back at full strength they're going on the penalty kill again, Evgeniy Timkin for roughing is taking a seat for the fourth time
	55:27	The Russian outfit just cannot keep out of the penalty box at the moment, and for tripping Tim Brent has now been called
	52:51	Kosov! Shorthanded Yaroslav Kosov digs out the puck from the left hand boards, skates clean through, but Edgars Masalskis makes another big save to keep Metallurg out!
	52:28	Evgeniy Timkin is off to the penalty box for the third time today, this time for holding, and in turn giving Dinamo yet another powerplay
	51:24	All of a sudden it's a three on one for Dinamo, Gunars Skvorcovs skating in to the tip of the slot has the goal gaping but the netminder's blocker denies him!
	47:42	Martins Porejs of Dinamo for crashing into his opponent against the left hand boards has given Metallurg a powerplay opportunity to get something going
	44:41	For high sticking Grigoriy Shafigulin of Metallurg has handed Dinamo yet another powerplay
	44:26	Goal for Dinamo Riga! Vasiliy Koshechkin chests away a slapper from the point, but the puck lands right on to the stick of MIKELIS REDLIHS who pokes it into the net! Powerplay goal and it's 2-0! Assists- Edmunds Agustkalns
	42:43	It wasn't a five on five game for long though, as Evgeniy Timkin of Metallurg for a poor challenge against his opponent has been ordered to sit down for two minutes
	40:54	Mozyakin! It's end to end action all of a sudden as Sergey Mozyakin making room for himself on the left cuts in between the circles, wrists with pace but blocker side Edgars Masalskis holds on brilliantly!
	40:20	The third stanza is go! And immediately Miks Indrasis capitalizes on a defence mix up to burst through one on one, he can't beat Vasiliy Koshechkin from up close and neither can Lauris Darzins on the rebound!
	39:50	Evgeniy Timkin of Metallurg for elbowing his opponent has been handed a two minute minor, but Dinamo's Martins Porejs has also been sent to the penalty box meaning that the third period will begin as a four on four hockey game
	33:31	Here's another penalty as Krisjanis Redlihs of Dinamo for checking to the head has received a 2+10 punishment

	20:29	They're going on the penalty kill now though, as for slashing Eriks Sevcenko has been penalised
	18:34	Goal for Dinamo Riga! Mikelis Redlihs shielding the puck away from his opponent skates all around the net to the right, swings the puck across goal and GINTS MEIJA is there to tap home! It's 1-0! Assists- Mikelis Redlihs and Kristaps Sotnieks
	18:04	Indrasis! Beating his opponent for sheer power on the left flank Miks Indrasis battles his way through, wrists looking to hit the near corner but it's right into the goaltender's pads!
	16:39	Gints Meija skates in with purpose, looks to go five hole on Vasiliy Koshechkin but the goalkeeper shuts the door! We stay at 0-0
	16:39	The whistle again blows his whistle, and this time it's for a Dinamo penalty shot after Gints Meija was hacked when in a great position in front of the net!
	13:21	That powerplay didn't last for long though, as for high sticking Oskar Osala of Metallurg is on his way to the penalty box
	12:47	Rodrigo Abols for interference has been punished giving Metallurg a mid period powerplay
