Gift to Mikhailov
CSKA hockey players beat fellow Dynamo players
The hockey match between CSKA and Dynamo gathered in Luzhniki an impressive audience by capital standards - about 6 thousand spectators. And this despite the permanent failures of both clubs at the beginning of the Russian championship. It seems that the team's fans believe in their favorites and were ready to forgive them for their unimpressive start in the championship for the victory over their fellow countrymen.I must say that the Moscow derby did not turn out to be too spectacular. The country's champions, Dynamo, had the advantage throughout almost the entire match, but in the end they lost - 0:1. The dominance of the “blue and white” was especially impressive in the first 20 minutes, when the nominal guests completely controlled the course of the game. But at the same time, the Dynamo hockey players were unable to create a single scoring chance at Mikhailovsky’s goal. And in other situations, the class of one of the best goalkeepers in the Super League allowed him and his teammates to easily avert the threat. CSKA managed to score only in the third half, when Dynamo seemed to have finally taken control of the game: Boykov scored in the 7th minute. The Russian champions turned on extra speed and gradually locked the hosts in their zone. But the puck stubbornly did not go into Mikhailovsky’s goal. The pressure grew, but there was no result. In the last minutes, the “blue and white” slid into an outright pile-up, but the army team eventually held out and celebrated success, giving victory in the important match to coach Boris Mikhailov, who had celebrated his 56th birthday the day before.
However, the match in Moscow was a meeting of outsiders. Kazan Ak Bars became the sole leaders of the championship, leaving no stone unturned against the defense of Novokuznetsk Metallurg on their site - 4:1. The Magnitka hockey players had a chance to take second place in the table, but they lost at home to Yaroslavl Lokomotiv - 2:3. And another contender for leadership - Omsk Avangard - failed to take advantage of their home field advantage: the Omsk team was content with a draw (3:3) with Severstal.
Other results: "Amur" - "Molot-Prikamye" - 3:1, "Dynamo-Energia" - SKA - 3:2, "Neftekhimik" - "Vityaz" - 5:1, "Mechel" -- "Torpedo" -- 3:0.
