    Lev Praha has won after the penalty shoot-out.
    Scorer is THORNBERG.
     
    58:48
    Goal for Lev!

    They've done it! Finally the pressure tells, and the Lions are level. Nemec elects for the slapshot this time round, and his low slapshot takes a wicked deflection on the way through and beats Tellqvist.
     
    Wilson comes in directly on Vehanen, but doesn't get all of his backhand attempt. Vehanen is able to make the save and it is still 1:0.
     
    53:56
    Penalty shot coming for Dinamo. Another long stretch pass by the Latvians fools Lev. Oystrick comes in and barrels down Hossa, and it's been awarded as a penalty shot.
     
    48:59
    A long stretch pass eludes the Lev defencemen, giving Cipulis a breakaway. However, the Latvian forward fans on the forehand, and Ridderwall is able to get back to thwart the backhand attempt
     
    42:46
    Tellqvist was scrambling in his crease, and Zackrisson had the chance to level the score, but somehow the puck stays out.
     
    30:13
    Great chance for Dinamo out in front. Robinson joins the rush and sends a backhand effort across the crease to Indrasis whose shot is saved. Mikus comes in after the play and barrels over Indrasis for no call
     
    25:37
    Penalty coming against Lev. Two minute minor against Jiri Sekac for high sticking.
     
    24:01
    Goal for Dinamo!

    He's looked the most likely out of all the Dinamo players to create offence, and it's MARCEL HOSSA who gets the goal. Great play by Sandis Ozolins to join the rush,after getting the pass off Indrasis created the goal, as his wrist shot was saved well by Vehanen, but Hossa was first to the rebound, backhanding into the gaping net.
     
    19:06
    Good zonal pressure by Dinamo sees Lev scrambling with a delayed penalty giving the Latvians the man advantage. Nakladal does well to stop Indrasis getting the shot away from the right slot, and Lev are able to touch the puck, but the play is whistled up as Nakladal is handed a penalty for an earlier cross check on Indrasis.
     
    15:45
    First penalty coming up against Dinamo. A tripping call against Rustams Begovs.
