of the Future Cup, which became victorious for our team, the FHB press service told BELTA.In the decisive game of the tournament, Belarus U20 defeated the Russian U18 team in overtime (6:5). During the match, our hockey players led with a score of 3:0, then lost the lead and lost 3:5, but still managed to find a way to victory. Roman Kuznetsov and Stepan Zvyagin scored doubles for the Belarusian youth team, Arseniy Kovgorenya also scored in regulation time, and Dmitry Tukach brought the trophy to our team in overtime.“To concede four goals in a row in the second period was, of course, a blow. The guys in the locker room probably thought that I would scream, but I rather encouraged them and told them to continue to stick to their line. I asked them to play until the end, because nothing happened, we lost by one goal. Such matches need to be pulled out, and we know how to do this,” Mikhalev noted. “The most emotional moment of the meeting for me was our goal in the third period, when there was one goal left before the score was tied. In overtime, we controlled the game , had more possession of the puck and had more chances."Earlier, at the Future Cup, the youth hockey team of Belarus beat their peers from Kazakhstan, as well as the junior junior team of Russia with the same score of 5:2.
