Primorsky “Admiral” on the road won against “Severstal” in shootouts

Match score – 2:1 in favor of the team from Vladivostok

After the defeat in Yaroslavl (for the third time in a row), where Admiral failed to convert a single chance they created, Primorye went to Cherepovets to play the second game in the away series. By this time, Admiral, in 10 games of the first part of the championship, was able to climb to 8th place in the East conference with 9 points, their rivals Severstal settled in 7th place in the West conference with 11 points.

Severstal entered the game with Admiral already having one home victory. Two days earlier, they defeated Barys from Astana in the hardest match. For Primorye, on the one hand, this meant that the opponent would enter the game inspired, on the other hand, that he did not have much strength left. In a word, in this game, in order to win, it was necessary to score first, seizing the initiative on the court.

Actually, the guests did just that. Already five minutes after the starting whistle, Nikolai Eliseev opens the scoring in this match. It is not surprising, he clearly worked out for this goal – the quantity turned into quality. The opponents had a great chance to level the score, when at first there were three “seamen” left on the court against five Severstal players, and then four. But the Cherepovites could not realize the numerical advantage.

This is all the more surprising that “Admiral” in the first period scored as much as 6 penalty minutes, and “Severstal” constantly played in full force. According to statistics, in the first period, the hosts threw more and more accurately, but it was the guests who had better implementation, as the score on the scoreboard eloquently spoke about. The teams went to the break with a score of 0:1 in favor of the “sailors”. Well, Nikita Serebryakov played very well, not giving the “steelworkers” a chance to equalize.

In the second period, Severstal had no choice but to “crush” the guests. “Admiral”, in turn, tried to increase the gap, but all the same removals greatly interfered. It is difficult to complete the task when you are constantly playing in the minority – 12 minutes of penalty, this is not a joke. And it would be fine if they were removed on business, but repeatedly sitting in boxing for violation of the numerical strength is already too much. During just such a removal, the hosts were able to level the score. Daniil Vovchenko did it in the 40th minute of the match. The coaching staff of “Admiral” requested a video review of the moment in terms of offside position. But everything was within the rules – the goal, to the annoyance of the Primorye residents, was still counted

In the third period, neither the first nor the second team managed to change the score. The game went into overtime, but he did not reveal the strongest. But in the series of post-match free throws, the players from Vladivostok turned out to be more accurate. The decisive goal was scored by Alexander Gorshkov, which allowed the Admiral to win the first victory in this outing. The two points scored were a great gift for Leonid Tambiev, who celebrated his birthday on the day of the match.

“Good dedication on our part. Good performance. The guys fulfilled the coaching instructions, did what we asked. It brought a certain result. the thread of the game, because we played a lot in the minority. The same guys defended. Dedication is good, beyond. I think we are moving in that direction. Step by step. After three defeats in a row. It can break any team. Well done guys today. Thank you very much for the game today. Congratulations, “Admiral”! Do I need to improve performance? I’m not against improving performance. There are many factors involved – teamwork, and equipment, and so on and so forth. We proceed from the fact that we have. From the selection of these performers. We want us to score more. The league is of a very high level. Today there were enough good moments where we could translate the outcome of the match into our gender zu. There is still a lot of work ahead. The team is still under construction. We’re having a grind. It is not so easy. We are moving forward step by step,” he said at the post-match press conference. Leonid Tambiev, head coach of HC Admiral.

According to the mentor Cherepovets one point is better than nothing.

“It was assumed that it would be a tough, viscous game. The opponent defends very well. The goalkeeper stands “on his head”, helps out a lot. It’s a pity that we didn’t win. On the other hand, 5×3 twice …. If you don’t score once, then by law you always We had two such opportunities this time. Everyone knows what we sometimes do in training. We also train these components. Unfortunately, the opponent’s performers turned out to be better. Out of five, you score two if, then, at least, a draw should be. There are no complaints about Vlad today. Although he had little work, he kept us in the game at very important moments, “shared Andrey Razin, head coach of HC Severstal.
