    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.

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!
