The opponent won the match with the score 2:0.
In the first period Ugra team had the advantage. The players made several goal chances but they could not use them. They also began the second period actively and the opponent was ejected. Only three sledge hockey players of “Phoenix” remained on the rink after puck throwing. “Ugra” had almost two minutes in reserve but the guys could not take their advantage. In the middle of the third period a curious puck appeared in our net. Several minutes later Ugra players created several dangerous moments but they could not make a goal. One minute before the end of the match our players were involved in the attack in order to remain in the game and they missed the opponent’s counter-attack.
As a result “Phoenix” won with the score 2:0.
“I congratulate the team of Moscow Oblast on its win. As for our players I am grateful to our guys for their good play. – Chief coach of SHC “Ugra” Aleksandr Zykov says. – I consider that the team composition did not allow our leaders to show their potential. Freshness failed them in the third period and they could not make winning goals. We could see that our guys wanted to win. But they could not take their chances and the opponent managed to it. We will make conclusions, analyze all plying moments and prepare for the 2nd stage of the Championship of Russia”.
