Sochi hockey players scored four times, but lost. Sergei Zubov’s team conceded seven goals against SKA St. Petersburg. The match within the Fonbet KHL Championship was the third consecutive home game for the Leopards.
The teams scored five goals between them in the first half. The hosts were the first to score, with Michal Krystof scoring. The guests fought back, but Danil Avershin put the Sochi team ahead for the second time. For the second and last time in the game.
SKA then scored five times in a row, from the 16th to the 35th minute. The replacement of the goalkeeper did not help the Sochi team either: after the fourth goal conceded, Egor Zavragin took his place in goal instead of Sergei Ivanov.
Timur Khafizov gave hope of salvation in the third half, scoring twice in four minutes. But the visitors ended the match with an empty net.
Sochi lost 4:7. The team has two victories in five matches played. The club will play its next four matches away from home. The series will start with a match in Kazan against Ak Bars on September 22 (0+).
Earlier, MK in Sochi wrote that the legendary defender of HC Sochi will sign a contract with the club for one day.
