Siberia at home lost to Lokomotiv in a stubborn struggle

From the very beginning of the match, the Yaroslavl team took the initiative under their control and came forward already in the 13th minute thanks to Giovanni Fiore’s accurate strike. In the second period, Novosibirsk seemed to find the key to the opponent’s defense: Taylor Beck sent the puck into the net, but the glee of the stands was interrupted by the referees. After a detailed study of the video replay, the judges canceled the capture of the goal, seeing that the hockey player played along with his hand.

Despite the judicial blow, the hosts showed character under the curtain of twenty minutes. In the 40th minute, being in the numerical minority, the newcomer “Siberia” Alexander Yaremchuk made a spectacular interception and leveled the score.

The joy of the fans was short-lived: already in the debut of the third period, Nikita Kiryanov again brought Lokomotiv forward, setting the final figures on the scoreboard. The statistics of shots to the goal (22 vs. 15 in favor of the guests) clearly reflected the game advantage of the Yaroslavl team, which managed to keep the winning result until the final siren.

On September 30, the teams will play another match, already on the ice of Lokomotiv. We will remind, Yaroslavl are the title of the current champions of the KHL.
