CSKA Moscow
Friday 05.09.2014, 17:30 • Luzhniki Stadium • KHL
     
    There is the final buzzer, and in their first KHL game of the season CSKA Moscow have seen off their Moscow rivals Dynamo comfortably 4:1! They had to ride their luck at times, but they took advantage of their chances masterfully. Nikolay Zherdev struck first to break the deadlock for Dynamo, before a double from Stephane Da Costa and goals from Igor Grigorenko and Nikita Zaitsev gave CSKA the three points. Thanks for following the game with us, and see you again soon for more enthralling KHL action! (19:53:37)
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:47
    It's now the final seconds with CSKA heading for an excellent 4:1 triumph over their cross city rivals Dynamo!
     
    59:23
    Jan Mursak drifting to the right skating in from deep lifts a wrist shot into the netminder's glove who freezes without giving up any rebounds
     
    57:31
    Dynamo are back at full strength with CSKA completely controlling the game, they have their opponents exactly where they want them!
     
    57:08
    The Dynamo fans are still in fine voice despite their team going down, and Alexander Yeryomenko gloves not the most powerful effort from the blue line
     
    56:21
    Martins Karsums on the penalty kill does his best to get something going for Dynamo, but his wrister off the left faceoff circle is comfortable for Stanislav Galimov to collect
     
    55:31
    Not long after they came back to full strength again Dynamo are going on the penalty kill, now Konstantin Gorovikov has been penalised for hooking
     
    54:33
    Grigorenko! Igor Grigorenko, who has been in the thick of the action today, finds space speeding in from the right, but both of his efforts are stoned by Alexander Yeryomenko!
     
    53:28
    The hosts drift offside as they're trying to keep their opponents well out of their zone, but with time running down they themselves need to put the pressure on
     
    52:52
    Dynamo have picked up another penalty as they're just falling to fall apart! Yury Babenko for tripping is the next to foul, and the home fans aren't happy about that at all!
     
    51:52
    Goal for CSKA! That might just wrap up their victory, and a deserved victory it will be as well! Alexander Radulov with a masterful pass lets in defenceman NIKITA ZAITSEV, and from the left faceoff circle the latter rattles it high into the far corner! Powerplay goal and it's 1:4! Assists- Igor Grigorenko and Alexander Radulov
     
    51:00
    And that quickly has become a five on three CSKA powerplay as Martins Karsums has been penalised for delaying the game!
     
    50:32
    We have another penalty here and this time it's against Dynamo, Konstantin Gorovikov for holding has made his team's task even harder
     
    49:54
    The hosts keep the puck deep inside the CSKA zone for a prolonged amount of time but they aren't finding any shooting positions at all
     
    47:45
    Karpov! With a tricky snapshot from between the circles Maxim Karpov forces Stanislav Galimov into an excellent reaction right pad save! The goalkeeper had to be alert there!
     
    47:32
    Matt Robinson cuts in sharply coming in off the right hand boards, but CSKA defenders to well to force him out wide and clear of the danger zone
     
    46:20
    Dynamo move offside just as Maxim Pestushko was looking to sneak in behind down the left. They aren't having enough shots to back up their pressure, Stanislav Galimov in the CSKA net isn't having a lot to do at the moment
     
    43:03
    And CSKA are indeed now back at full strength, They won't want to keep on fouling when it's not needed!
     
    43:00
    Koryagin! Dynamo can't afford to let such chances slip them by! By himself at the top of the crease Gleb Koryagin wrists powerfully, but it flies high over the right hand post!
