    Don't miss the big end of the season when all 28 teams play on Tuesday to decide the playoff pairings and to find out who are the last two teams to enter the Gagarin Cup playoffs 2014! (17:17:33)
     
    Thank you for following the game with us!
     
    Dinamo Minsk easily defended their lead in the third period. They left Dinamo Riga more space and concentrated on possible counter attacks. In the end the 5-2 win is a deserved one as the team from Belarus was the more active and more dangerous side from the moment on when they scored the equalizer in the first period.

    Shots on goal: Minsk 9 (27) – Riga 8 (19)

    59:02
    Goal for Dinamo Minsk!


    ZBYNEK IRGL makes everything clear with an empty netter from the right wing.

    Assisted by Tomas Surovy and Lukas Krajicek.
     
    58:29
    Jakub Sedlacek stays on the bench for an additional attacker! Riga goes all or nothing!
     
    58:29
    Timeout taken by Dinamo Riga!
     
    57:24
    The scene was shown on the video screen in the arena and the home fans are absolutly furious that the goal counted!
     
    57:24
    Goal for Dinamo Riga!


    The guests with a consolation goal. It is a very strange one and it shouldn't have counted! GUNARS SKVORCOVS failed to stop a pass back to the blue line in time when he kicked it back into the Minsk third with his left skate – the puck had crossed the blue line by several inches – but the referees didn't see it. He then deked out two opponents and fired the puck against the right goal post from where it hit the legs of goalie Lars Haugen and went into the net!

    Without assist.
     
    55:58
    Again Filichkin with a one-timer, this time from within the slot but Sedlacek blocks the shot to the side and also stops the following rebound by a forward from the right circle.
     
    54:46
    A one-timer by Minsk defender Andrei Filichkin from the left circle is easily stopped by Sedlacek.
     
    53:30
    Even the most optimitsic Riga fans who travelled to Minsk for the game today, can't believe in a comeback anymore. The biggest tension is out of the game.
     
    52:11
    Almost the next one for the hosts but a shot from the left circle goes just wide past the right bottom corner through traffic.
     
    50:37
    Goal for Dinamo Minsk!


    In the middle period Minsk were denied the 4th but now they get it in power play! TOMAS SUROVY with a pass from behidn the net to Alexander Kitarov who waited at the right post. Surovy then skates towards the goalie crease, gets the puck back from Kitarov and beats Sedlacek with a powerful one-timer! What a nice goal for Dinamo Minsk!

    Assisted by Alexander Kitarov.
     
    50:06
    One-timer by Minsk's Alexander Materukhin from the left circle, easy pad save to the right by Riga goalie Sedlacek!
     
    49:21
    Aleksandrs Nizivijs (Riga) gets two minutes for hooking.
     
    48:44
    Marsel Hascak skated fast towards the Minsk net without being attacked by any defender and from just half a metre distance he then didn't manage to score with a flat shot!!!
     
    47:25
    Jamie Johnson receives a long cross-pass at the right circle but his flat shot towards the right bottom corner is blocked with a pad save by Haugen!
     
    45:00
    The game is completely open and the puck goes back and forth.
     
    43:15
    By the way: Riga made a goaltender change during the intermission. In for Mikael Tellqvist now is backup Jakub Sedlacek.
