    MARCEL HOSSA receives the puck behind the Donbass net, skates in front of it and beats Leighton with a high shot below the crossbar – a very similar goal as the one by Meija just two and a half minutes ago. The Donbass goalie is furious!

    Goal for Donbass!


    The guests restore their lead completely out of the blue! LUKAS KASPAR receives a very, very long pass by Clay Wilson just at the Dinamo blue line, is through with a break away. He fails to deke out Tellqvist but the goalie also fails to stop his shot from short distance and the puck – deflected by the goalie's stick – bounces slowly over the head of Tellqvist and into the wide open net! A defender came just late in his attempt to clear the situation!

    MARIS BICEVSKIS receives the puck by Mat Robinson at the Donbass blue line, triesit with a powerful one-timer and the puck goes through the crowd in front of the net straight into the right top corner for the 2-2 equalizer! Leighton didn't get his glove hand up in time but also had a very bad view! The atmosphere in Arena Riga is amazing!

    Assisted by Mat Robinson.
