    Final word -
    It wasn't particulary nice game. Full of fighting spirit – yes; but no great hockey. Both teams were precautious too much. Dinamo was supported by magnificent crowd inside Arena Riga and that probably gave them extra boost in crucial moments. Avangard was surprisingly active, good in during some time-periods, but very innefective. Bottom line – deserved win for Latvian side, but it could have easily gone the other way too.
