The champion took the lead three times, and the third time the opponent was unable to come back
Falcon in a tense thriller, he won a hard-fought victory over his principal rival Kremenchug in a regular match Ukrainian hockey championship – 3:2.
The champion could not stumble – failure could cost Oleg Shafarenko’s team first place, because Dnepr, which had previously inflicted the first defeat of the season on the Kiev team, was closing in on the heels in the table.
Kremenchug, as expected, did not surrender to the mercy of the favorite. Twice the representatives of the Poltava region fought back (captain Vitaliy Lyalka played effectively in the game), but the third time he was unable to effectively respond to the opponent.
Vladimir Cherdak was the scorer of two goals (including the winning one) as part of the triumphant team. Denis Boroday and Sergei Babinets also made a significant contribution to the result.
Having scored 24 points, Sokol remained at the head of the table, but tomorrow, September 16, his lead will probably be reduced to a minimum – for this, Dnepr will only need to beat the Kharkov Berserkers, the main outsider of the season.
Kremenchuk remained fourth, losing one point to the Kyiv Capitals and four to the Kherson club.
