Wednesday 22.01.2014, 16:30 • Luzhniki Stadium • KHL
     
    What a fantastic match, and it's Dynamo who get the two points with a 2-1 victory after penalty shots! CSKA originally took the lead in the second period through Alexander Frolov, but after heavy pressure Martins Karsums tied the game up not long from the end and Leonid Komarov scored the winning penalty shot to leave the home fans in raptures. Thanks for following the game with us today, and join us tomorrow for a busy day of KHL action! (19:08:12)
     
    Game over.
     
    The winning penalty shot is scored by LEONID KOMAROV
     
    Leonid Komarov with a sharp wrist shot doesn't give Glass a chance, it's 2-1!
     
    Frolov goes for the middle of the net and is denied by the goalkeeper
     
    Kvapil hits the post! We go on into the fifth found
     
    Radulov steps up having already scored, but this time it's a tame effort with the backhand and it's easily saved
     
    Prokhorkhin can win it for CSKA, but Sharychenkov with his glove makes a great save! It's sudden death
     
    Glass stretches his left pad out to deny Alexey Tsvetkov!
     
    Sharychenkov makes his first save of the shootout as Frolov tried to go five hole on him
     
    Pestushko is denied by Glass when aiming for the left corner
     
    The puck comes off the post and into the net from Alexander Radulov, 1-1!
     
    Marek Kvapil find the right hand corner of the net, 1-0!
     
    Start of shootout.
     
    Dynamo will shoot first
     
    And this thrilling encounter is indeed going to have to be decided on penalties
     
    65:00
    Overtime finished.
     
    64:50
    We're now into the final few seconds of overtime and we seem to be heading to penalty shots
     
    64:01
    Mursak! With his stick he deflects the puck towards goal from close up but Sharychenkov is alert well!
     
    63:31
    Finally Dynamo get in the attack, but they don't manage to get a shot away
     
    63:00
    The hosts are yet to even get out of their own zone so far
     
    61:49
    Dynamo are back to full strength with just over three minutes left in overtime
     
    61:26
    Radulov! CSKA keep the pressure on, and Radulov has a close range effort deflected high and wide!
     
    60:58
    CSKA set up well, Quint one times it again but this time from distance, and just like his first effort it goes out of play. And Dynamo have taken a timeout
     
    60:33
    Quint is found free on the right post, he one times it but can only put it over and out of play!
     
    60:01
    Overtime began.
     
    It's overtime! CSKA will start off on the powerplay, and if these five extra minutes aren't enough to separate the two teams, it'll be penalty shots. In any case today the winner will get two points, and the loser one
     
    60:00
    3rd period finished.
     
    59:49
    Timely powerplay coming up for the visitors now, Dominik Granyak for tripping has been penalised
     
    59:31
    Frolov battles for the rebound at the near post but the puck is frozen. Just under 30 seconds left now and if we don't see a goal, we are heading to overtime
     
    58:37
    Prokhorkhin! Chance for CSKA to win it! His pace takes him away from the defenders, goes for the goalkeeper's near post but Sharychenkov at the second attempt manages to cover up!
     
    58:14
    We're already into the final two minutes, and there's a big debate going on between everyone about whether Dynamo had six men on the ice or not
     
    57:31
    Karpov strikes it strongly from distance, but it strikes the boards rather than the net
     
    56:10
    Kokarev is almost found when charging through one on one, but the pass is just too long and it's icing
     
    55:10
    Dynamo right after that goal aren't letting up, still CSKA cannot keep hold of the puck for a long time
     
    53:32
    Goal for Dynamo! They've deserved that goal! Maxim Solovyov finds the open MARTINS KARSUMS on the crease and this time Glass has no chance, it's a tied game at 1-1! Assists- Maxim Solovyov and Maxim Karpov
     
    53:18
    Ivan Neprayev with no traffic in front of him takes up the loose puck and gently places it into Sharychenkov
     
    53:01
    Radulov again tries his luck, this time from distance looking the top left hand corner and it goes just off target
     
    51:57
    A counterattack sends away Radulov on the left, he cuts inside and with the backhand makes the goalkeeper cover up for a faceoff
     
    51:45
    CSKA are saved by Glass once again! Gorovikov dishes a gem of a pass to Komarov on the crease, but unmarked right in front of the net he's somehow denied!
     
    51:20
    Offside from Dynamo
     
    49:56
    Kvapil with a rasping wrister just misses the top shelf, the game is really hotting up now!
     
    49:20
    How didn't CSKA score! An awful defensive mistake lets in Radulov who can't beat Sharychenkov with the backhand, and then on a goalmouth pile up no one can squeeze the puck home!
     
    48:02
    Babenko! Picks up a rebound from a meter out, but with Glass beaten he puts it wide much to the annoyance of the home crowd!
     
    47:12
    Glass makes another hard pad save on a powerful Ryazantsev slapshot from the point!
     
    46:55
    CSKA commit icing
     
    46:38
    Today's attendance at the Luzhniki stadium is 8019
     
    46:14
    Dynamo are pressing with all their might, it's going to be a long 14 or so minutes for CSKA if they are going to hold on
     
    45:16
    Marek Kvapil drives through on the right flank, but wrists it into Glass's chest who covers
     
    44:57
    Glass loses his bearings as Dugin bares down on goal, but he manages to bat it over his net
     
    44:24
    CSKA go offside
     
    42:35
    Great chance for Dynamo! Pestushko feeds the unmarked Mosalyov at the left post, he has an empty corner of the net to aim it but he delicately places the puck wide!
     
    42:01
    Rylov! Takes up a good position close up to the net but his attempt is too weak
     
    41:12
    Ryazantsev receives the puck on the boards from Denis Kokarev, takes aim immediately but he snaps his stick in two
     
    40:31
    The CSKA netminder is the first to make a save in the third period, Dynamo are straight away taking the initiative
     
    40:01

    Another slapshot this time from Vishnevskiy, and after an awkward deflection the goalkeeper freezes!
     
    39:10
    Ryazantsev! What a slapshot from the point! It's so powerful that it goes through Glass's glove but instead of going into the net it trickles wide of the post!
     
    38:23
    Dangerous attack for Dynamo after Gorovikov strips a CSKA defender of the puck, he gives it to Ryazantsev who tries to dish it right back to him but gets it all wrong
     
    37:22
    Zharkov sees that one of his strike partners is running through on goal but his pass gets deflected off it's target

    36:03
    Dynamo go offside
     
    35:26

    34:34
    Kvapil drives towards the CSKA goal, wrists it looking for the far right hand corner but Glass makes a nice looking glove save
     
    34:14

    32:54

    31:09
    Glass comes flying out of his goal to spectacuarly dive on a loose dangerous puck outside of the crease
     
    30:01
    Vishnevskiy! He forces Glass to give up a rebound with an effort from distance, Pestushko picks the puck up and on his second attempt sends the puck just wide!
     
    29:52
    Icing is committed by the visitors
     
    28:38
    Another great CSKA chance! Radulov skates away on the right, picks out Rylov who's free on the left hand post but he hits the woodwork as the goal is gaping!
     
    27:23
    Saprykin! He holds the puck up on the crease, twists around sharply but Sharychenkov makes a solid save to prevent his team going two down!
     
    26:46
    Gorovikov twists inside and unleashes a wrist shot that Glass covers comfortably
     
    26:24

    22:01

    Glass gives up a big rebound to Yury Babenko on the crease, but his defenders help him out!
     
    20:28

    19:39
    Denisov! Big slapshot from the defenceman sails only inches wide of the far post!
     
    17:27
    Excellent combination play by Denisov and Quint ends with Alexey Morozov free on the right shooting in on goal, but it's too central
     
    17:41
    Prokhorkin! From the left faceoff circle he fires into Sharychenkov and now CSKA are going on the powerplay, for tripping Maxim Solovyov has been called

    Long pass towards Sharychenkov's goal, and he with ease covers up. Still very few chances for either side as yet
     
    10:41
    Denisov from the left flank bursts through, picks up a pass towards him but loses control of the puck straight away

    04:16
    Sharychenkov sees a Morozov wrister from the point go just wide, he's had no work to do as yet

    Not too many shots as yet, CSKA are pressing Dynamo with the puck everywhere
     
    01:00
