Riga “Dinamo” suffered the 13th consecutive loss in the regular championship of the Continental Hockey League (KHL) on Thursday, November 12, giving up 1: 3 (0: 0, 0: 0, 1: 3) to “Sochi” team at home .
The series of failures of the Rigans has been continuing since October 1, when the second victory of the season was achieved, defeating the “Dinamo” of Minsk in the “bulls”. Since then, the 11th loss has been suffered in duel with opponents, but two losses have been counted for matches that failed to leave the field due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The rather poor performance of Riga’s “Dinamo” is confirmed by another statistical indicator – five goals have been scored in the last six games.
The Latvian team, which has undergone a fundamental change in its composition, lost all three goals in the last period in 11 minutes. In the fourth minute, Jere Karjalainen corrected his colleague’s throwing puck, after four minutes Igors Rudenkovs was tighter in front of the goal, but less than six minutes before the end of the game Malte Stromvols reached 3: 0 in favor of “Soci” with an excellent hand shot.
The Rigans scored the only goal at the last minute, when Jevgenijs Gračovs demonstrated his individual skills.
Thus, Riga’s “Dinamo” has still never won the “Sochi” team in regular time in the history of KHL. In mutual duels, the Russian club has ten wins in regular time, one overtime and three “bulls”. Riga “Dinamo” has only two successes in this extension.
The portal “Delfi” offered live text of the game.
KHL game: Riga Dynamo – Sochi
Game statistics
Riga Dynamo – Sochi 1: 3. Game over
59:07 min. Rīgas Dinamo – Sochi 1: 3Gračovs broke to the left side of the left edge and beautifully throws into the “nine”
Dinamo plays very carelessly. Galimov saves the homeowners from the fourth goal loss.
54:16 min. Rīgas Dinamo – Sochi 0: 3 Sochi started the attack from their zone, Stromvals showed individual mastery and increases the dominance of guests with a hand.
53:56 min. Riga Dinamo minorityHome expectations are shrinking. Maione pulls his opponent by the hand and takes a penalty. No options
Parshin in a good situation does not hit an empty corner of the gate. The best home moment in practically the whole game
Riga Dinamo more and more with a puck, but without success. No throws, no moments. You have to play for seven minutes.
And again, Galimov plays brilliantly. Dynamo protection literally collapses like a house of cards.
And immediately another dangerous moment. In a few seconds, Sochi was able to “sort things out” completely
47:36 min. Rīgas Dinamo – Sochi 0: 2 Galimov repels the throw, but Rudenkov is not covered in front of the goal – he passes the formality and 0: 2.
It is to be hoped that this gate will awaken the householders, because in the 3rd period the people of Riga look quite passive.
43:35 min. Rīgas Dinamo – Sochi 0: 1After Malta Stromval’s throw from the blue line Jere Karjalainen slightly improves the flight of the puck and it gives the necessary effect – Galimov is unable to react.
Period 3 begins
Riga Dynamo – Sochi 0: 0. Period 2 is over
38:55 min. Mutual rejection The peaceful game is interrupted by sharps at the Sochi goal. Kaušļi Lipons and Batiŗsins go to the changing rooms, because they will not be on the field during this period.
The garden surprises, sliding fast in front of the gate from the shutter. Tratjaks manages to hit the puck.
Gaļimovs fouls Kvartalnov’s hand unsafely, but the puck slowly slips past the goal. Luckily.
Dynamo is miraculously saved from the loss of the goal by the goal post.
In the last days for Rigans, not only cleaning the composition, but also supplementing the composition. It is now known that Rīhards Bukarts will also play in Rīga.https: //www.delfi.lv/sports/news/rigas_dinamo/news/ari-rihards-bukarts- join-rigas-dinamo.d? Id = 52657515
The game has come to life. After the Komarek raid, the puck bounces in front of an empty goal, but Sochi pushes the puck further away. Then White has a good shot from a distance – Tretyak takes the puck.
The game of the Riga Dinamo team is completely lost. Sochi is getting closer and closer to scoring. In the first period, the guests did not have so many moments
Sochi is increasingly attacking. Galimov saves.
Riga Dinamo won its second victory in the season almost a month and a half ago – on October 1. Today, the Rigans were “credited” with two more losses for games that failed due to Covid-19 illness. Thus, the series of losses of Rigans is still 12 matches …
Sochi counterattack, Galimov takes the puck.
Most fail to use
For Rigans at the beginning of the period 1:22 seconds, what to do in the majority
Period 2 begins
Riga Dynamo – Sochi 0: 0. Period 1 is over
19:22 min. The majority of Riga Dinamo Lipon fights well in front of the gate, which is unauthorizedly hindered. 38 seconds still in this period
In the penultimate minute of the period, a massive Dinamo attack and an attempt to “push” the puck from the front of the goal. The third sees the puck and presses it to the ice.
Also in the second minute of the majority Sochi attacks dangerously, the puck also hits the pole. Dinamo protects the safety of the goal and plays in full force
In the first minute of the majority in Sochi, a thorough “shooting” in the Riga area.
14:26 min. Riga Dinamo minority Tony Sunds goes to rest for holding his opponent
The game is running very smoothly, but it hasn’t really been a really good moment for any team …
The people of Riga have already made six shots. So far, atypical for the style of Riga Dinamo, because so far there have been problems in terms of throws
Rigans try to send the puck closer to the goal – throws, throws, passes to the goal. Sochi controls the situation in defense. The Sochi striker is in a good position against Galimov – the man of the Dynamo goal rescues the home.
Rīgas Dinamo have decided to start the match resolutely, but be careful – Sochi made a good attack a couple of times after inaccurate passes from the home team.
Maksims Tretjaks, well known to Latvian fans, is at the goal of the guest team.
The game has started
The teams have met KHL 15 times so far. The Rigans have no victory in regular time in mutual games, but there are two successes in overtime. Sochi balance – nine wins in regular time, one in extra time and three in “bulls”.
Riga Dinamo thoroughly cleans the composition in the last week. There are no multiplayer players in the team, including long-lived Mikēlis Rēdlihu and Gints Meiju.https: //www.delfi.lv/sports/news/rigas_dinamo/news/rigas-dinamo-skiras-no-kluba-livivototie – meijas-un-redliha.d ? id = 52637547
