Head coach of Cherepovets Severstal Andrei Razin called Fonbet’s KHL Championship match with SKA St. Petersburg one of the best for his team in terms of dedication and desire.
The main time of the match in Cherepovets ended with the score 1:1. The guests responded to Daniil Vovchenko’s puck (20th minute) with a precise shot from Marat Khairullin (38th). During the shootout, a shot from Dmitry Yashkin brought victory to SKA.
– They started very shy, missed positional attacks, counterattacks. Luckily we didn’t miss it. Then they equalized, got the majority. One of them has been set up. One of our best games of self-sacrifice, at will. They also played well. Skillful opponent. It’s a shame to lose an extra point. In addition, we drew three draws in regulation time with SKA, we never took an extra point. We have a total of 12 such games in a season. Pity, pity. I am satisfied with the performance of the team today. Its good.
– Not upset that they had such an unsuccessful shootout? The guys know Podyapolsky, no one scored.
– Rozhkov, he just didn’t know – he didn’t score either. Podyapolsky is a good goalkeeper. In training with the technical staff, the guys who played with him never lost. Therefore, everything is natural. We tried to decide the result in extra time. Vlad is really good at gunfights. A good goalkeeper,” Razin told the press service of the Cherepovets team.
Severstal suffered its fourth straight loss and sits ninth in the Western Conference standings (52 points). In the next match, Severstal will host Dynamo Minsk on January 21.
