It has already been reported that Riga’s Dinamo beat Beijing’s Lunar Red Star 5: 3 (1: 2, 3: 1, 1: 0), ending a series of 14 lost matches.

Gleb Ziranov, who previously played directly for the Beijing team, scored two goals for the Rigans, one by one – Lauris Dārziņš, Jordan Murray and Why Indrašis.

Dynamo, with ten points in 23 matches, is ranked 11th in the Western Zone, while Kunmuun Red Star is 12th in the East with 12 points in 25 duels.

“I said earlier that we were not ashamed of the game we showed, but in the end it is nice to be victorious,” the head coach of the Riga “Dinamo” team congratulated the fans with the long-awaited victory.

“A lot of good things happened today – they threw the puck and played well the hockey players we knew they would get by then. Glad that Indrašis scored a much-needed” goal “, and, of course, Zirjanov, who threw in his style, – such a hockey player We missed it at the beginning of the season, it was a victory for the team, because also the blocked throws and strength techniques confirm that the guys hit on the field, “praised his team.

“We should also praise the Kununun Red Star team, which moved very well in the attack zone. So we had a hard time at times, but the guys worked well,” the coach thanked his players.

One of the turning points in the game was Jesse Lipon’s fight with Viktor Baldayev for the fall of Kristaps Zīle.

“We are expecting points from Lipona. He is a masterful hockey player. Although he plays physical and aggressive hockey, he can drop gloves and protect a teammate. That moment was very important,” agreed Ant.

“I liked the way the team reacted to the moment Lipon returned to the field after being rejected – everyone got up and hit with sticks on board, waiting for him. . “Goalkeeper Stanislav Galimov also had several repulsive throws, which were followed by a reaction to the reserve bench. This is very important to me.”

The coach does not blame goalkeeper Zein Makintair. He explains the change of goalkeeper by stopping the team. “I really like Galimov after he was ill. It reminds me of Galimov in the last four games as he was in Nizhny Novgorod.”Torpedo“At times. I was convinced that he could go out on the field and help in a difficult time. Besides, I didn’t want to go into an even deeper pit, but Makintaira got a psychological trauma. Makintaira needs a job and we will find him an opportunity to play,” the former Latvian national goalkeeper commented. .

“It was a pretty good game,” Gleb Zignanov, the best sniper of the day, told the press conference. “From the beginning there was a swing, and it was good that we withstood the pressure, continued to act on our game drawing and won.”

In turn, the head coach of the guest team Alexei Kovalev promised a change of team, if once hockey players do not keep in mind what is required of them.
