    Thank you for following the game with us! (18:18:47)
     
    In the first period it looked like Dinamo's game plan would work and they earned a 1-0 lead but with the start of the second period Vityaz became stronger and stronger and finally took over the initiative completely in this game and made it 2-1 before the second intermission. The last 20 minutes started even worse for Dinamo when Vityaz simply over ran them by scoring three fast goals. In the end the 6-2 – which was the first Vityaz win after 9 (!) consecutive losses and also the first for them in the year of 2014 – was more than deserved for the home side!
