Athletistic/Hockey. On Sunday, March 17, one of the 1/4 finals of the KHL playoffs began. SKA met with Avtomobilist. The first match took place in St. Petersburg on the ice of the SKA Arena. Recall that before SKA defeated Torpedo, while Avtomobilist managed to leave Ak Bars behind.
Midway through the first period, Semyon Kizimov gave Avtomobilist the lead. Alekseev found himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper, but did not beat Serebryakov, and Kizimov supported this attack and, after the goalkeeper stopped, finished the puck in the corner of the aim.

Towards the end of the period, Alexey Makeev doubled the Yekaterinburg team’s lead. Golyshev dragged the puck into the opponent’s zone, then returned it to Romantsev, who already shot towards the goal line, where the army team could not block the stick of Makeev, who sent the puck under the crossbar.
Immediately, Marat Khairullin saved a goal. Alikin faced Glotov’s wrist shot from the left throw-in circle, the puck bounced to the goal line and Khairullin managed to finish it on target from an acute angle.

There were no goals in the second period. At the start of the third period, Sergei Sapego equalized the score. Galimov entered the attacking zone with his right side and threw from an acute angle, Alikin hit the puck, Bardakov returned the puck to the goal line with a turn, where Sapego, who supported the slot, finished it above the goal line.

Two minutes later, Avtomobilist took the lead again. Denis Barantsev scored the goal. Makeev made an interception on his blue line, broke up a two-on-one fast break and made a cool throw over the defender’s stick, and Barantsev finished at the far post.

Thus, Avtomobilist won with a score of 3:2. The team leads the series 1-0. The series will last up to four victories. SKA fans reacted to their team’s defeat. They left their comments in the official community of the St. Petersburg club on VKontakte.

Andrei Bokov:

– Put the goalkeeper in prison and free the Belarusian. Why do we need a pontoon cutter at the gate? The gaps are effective, I’m not saying it, but the goalkeeper is necessary so that at least the opponent does not score into an empty goal. The useless Avtomobilist scored three empty goals. On the other hand, if the coach is having a blast, then okay. He is in charge and he is responsible.

Alexander Makarov:

– Well, what did you want? There is no coach, no team, no game discipline. Yekaterinburg made ours without showing anything worthy on the site.

Alexey Tuaev:

– It was to be expected… It seems to me that Avtomobilist will pass…

Ilona Vladimirova:

-And once again the first “damn” is lumpy. This means that things should run smoothly. What was frustrating again was that there were no precise passes, no normal reception of the puck, no precise shots. And Nikita is not in good shape… We must forget this “not our” day. Forgiving the guys for today’s defeat is, after all, a forgiven Sunday. The next match will be ours. Of course.
