Salavat Yulaev beat Neftekhimik in friendly match

UFA, 27 August 2019. /Bashinform News Agency/ translated by Tatiana Aksyutina/.

On August 26 the coaching staff of the Ufa team made changes to the application for the game with Neftekhimik. A favorite of the public Teemu Hartikainen appeared in the first five-man line. The Finnish striker decided not to linger with the first goal in the match. The Omark-Manninen-Hartikainen line was successful.

The second goal was also sent to the gates by a Salavat Yulaev’s rookie from Finland. Manninen's throw was so unexpected that the referees did not even stop the game, but after a video review it was determined: the puck flew into the net with superior accuracy - 2: 0.

The goalkeeper of "Neftekhimik" was upset for the third time by defender Mikhail Pashnin with an assist of Alexander Kadeikin.

At the start of the final twenty-minute, the guests grossly violated the rules: the push on board turned for the Nizhnekamsk squad a five-minute shorthanded play. However, the home team did not take advantage of the powerplay. A little later, Neftekhimik still won one goal. The far throw was invisible to Juha Metsola. However, three minutes before the final siren, Pavel Koledov airmailed a pass into the net - 4: 1.

HC Salavat Yulaev will play the ext control match with Avtomobilist at 7.00 pm on August 27.
