Severstal Cherepovets
Sunday 12.10.2014, 15:00 • Luzhniki Stadium • KHL
     
    There is the final buzzer, and Dynamo Moscow with a clinical performance have seen off the challenge of Severstal Cherepovets 5:1! The visitors had plenty of opportunties, but Dynamo's ruthlessness in front of goal proved to be the key. Kaspars Daugavins, Maxim Karpov, Alexey Tsvetkov, Maxim Pestushko and Matt Robinson all got on the scoreboard, while Zakhar Arzamatsev replied for Severstal. Thanks for following the game with us, and see you again soon for more exciting KHL action! (17:17:27)
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:48
    Before the game is out we do have one last penalty though, as Severstal's Gennady Stolyarov has been punished for high sticking
     
    59:43
    The final seconds of the game are now upon us with Dynamo heading for a confident triumph on home ice!
     
    58:34
    Soin! It's a carbon copy of the previous play as Sergey Soin steaming down the right flank slaps with serious force, but instead of the target he finds the side netting!
     
    57:44
    Pestushko! Maxim Pestushko is fed when moving on to the right of the crease, one times it but the goalkeeper reacts well to keep it out!
     
    55:59
    Martins Karsums somehow creates an opening for himself when skating in from well outside the attacking zone, but from close range he backhands against Roman Smiryagin's pads! That was a great play from Dynamo's number 15!
     
    55:30
    Crouched down blocker side Alexander Yeryomenko covers up a rolling puck with attackers closing him down. The home faithful are in fine voice as the game starts to run down!
     
    54:23
    Maxim Pestushko battles his way on to the crease peeling off the right hand boards, looks to sneak it into the near corner but he lets it run away from him!
     
    53:21
    Severstal's powerplay is just not working for them today and it's a five on five hockey game again
     
    52:39
    Maxim Karpov shorthanded breaks away almost clean through, but Severstal defencemen do excellently to out muscle him at the vital moment!
     
    51:37
    Andrey Shefer and co. move their sticks around looking to gobble up a juicy rebound on the Dynamo slot, but again the netminder is alert to the danger
     
    51:21
    Just like earlier Dynamo have gone to sleep and they've got some more defending to do, as forward Nikolay Zherdev has been penalised for holding
     
    50:06
    Shefer! Andrey Shefer charging in from deep evades the whole Dynamo defence working his way to the doorstep, but he can only weakly wrist into Alexander Yeryomenko! He has been very solid for the home team today!
     
    48:34
    Despite Severstal creating plenty of problems for their opponents the hosts are now back at full strength
     
    46:52
    Andrey Shefer wizzes it through traffic hanging back at the blue line, but without any deflections at all it travels right through and out
     
    46:34
    Out of virtually nothing Severstal are going on a handy powerplay, as for slashing Dynamo's Sergey Soin has been called into the penalty box
     
    44:57
    Severstal are now back at full strength. They have plenty of away fans inside the Luzhniki Arena, but they do seem a bit subdued at the moment!
     
    44:01
    Maxim Pestushko holds the puck up menacingly off the right faceoff circle, eventually picks out the free Kaspars Daugavins who can only wrist high and wide of the near post
     
    42:57
    And their pressure has resulted in drawing a cheap Severstal penalty, as Alexander Shinin has been called for hooking
