“Avangard” in Omsk on March 16 meets “Lokomotiv” in the first match of the 1/4 finals of the Gagarin Cup with a score of 2:1 in overtime. We’ve already talked about how the first two periods went. reported.

In the third period, the guests first equalized the score, and quite quickly, in the 44th minute of the meeting. Maxim Shalunov distinguished himself in close combat, assisted by Kayumov and Polunin. Alas, then quite quickly the “Puteyians” scored again. After a throw to the near corner, the player, who was not covered by anyone, threw and was accurate. The nuance is that Avangard promptly requested a video review from the judges to see if the goalkeeper was blocked. And after studying the video, the goal was not counted – there was a block.

Further, the opponent’s attacks were still sharper. But it didn’t result in goals.

Two minutes to one second before the siren, after our players attacked, a three-on-three fight broke out at the visitors’ goal, but no one was sent off there. In the remaining time the score did not change. 1:1.

As for overtime, both teams had deep benches. But the most annoying thing was the absolutely absurd sending off of Boucher, who himself was knocked down in the visiting area near the boards, and he was also accused of playing with a high stick. And the one who fouled him was not punished in any way. In the majority, the guests seemed to have scored a goal, but it was so dirty that the referees had to watch the video again – and again record that there was no goal. The puck did not cross the goal line.

What followed was a fairly open game. And in the 67th minute of the game, the visiting player was finally deservedly sent off – Dmitry Simashev was punished for tripping. For the most part, the Omsk team carried out a good attack at the start, then they had to accelerate a new one – it turned out to be slower. In general, it was no longer possible to score before the advantage expired. After that, for about 10 minutes, the opponent’s attacks were definitely more dangerous. Khomchenko worked hard.

And yet this overtime ended without goals.
