Yaroslavsky “Locomotive » beat Magnitogorsk “Metallurgist” (3:2) away in the opening match of the FONBET KHL Championship Cup of the 2024/25 season.
Artur Kayumov and Nikita Kiryanov scored the guests’ goals in the second half, with 10 seconds passing between the goals. This is a repeat of the club record for the “rate of fire” of two goals – on August 25, 2017, Vladislav Kartaev and Petri Kontiola also scored two goals for Lokomotiv against Slovan in 10 seconds.
In the third period, Lokomotiv forward Maxim Shalunov made it 3:0. After that, Dmitry Silantyev and Luke Johnson reduced Metallurg’s deficit to a minimum, but the Yaroslavl team managed to maintain the winning result in regulation time.
Lokomotiv, playing for the third time for the KHL Opening Cup, became the owner for the first time. In addition, the team won in Magnitogorsk for the first time in almost 11 years – Lokomotiv’s last away win against Metallurg dates back to October 22, 2013 (2:1 G).
In their next match, Metallurg will face SKA on home ice on September 5, and Lokomotiv will meet Lada on the same day.
