Dyn. Moscow stormed out of the blocks. Mark Ilyin opened the scoring at 03:15 with assists from Ivantsov and Anfinagentov. Just 52 seconds later at 04:07, Badalov made it 2-0, with Grebenyuk and Parshin providing the helpers.

SKA-Akademiya halved the deficit at 12:23 through Lvov (assisted by Mikulchik and Kovtun). Aleksandr Samoylov levelled at 14:04. Dzhavadov completed the first-period turnaround at 16:29, assisted by Kireyev and Mikulchik, sending the teams to the intermission with SKA-Akademiya leading 3-2.

The third period remained scoreless as SKA-Akademiya held firm.

The turning point came early — inside the first 17 minutes. After conceding twice in the opening four minutes, SKA-Akademiya scored three times in a devastating 4:06 span (12:23 to 16:29) to flip a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 lead. From that point forward, Dyn. Moscow never led again.

• N. Lvov (SKA-Akademiya): Two goals (12:23, 27:31), including the equaliser and the go-ahead goal. The most impactful player on the ice.
• Mark Ilyin (Dyn. Moscow): One goal (03:15) and one assist (22:30) in an eventful first half of the game.
• S. Dzhavadov (SKA-Akademiya): Scored the go-ahead goal at 16:29 that completed the first-period comeback.
• A. Shapovalov (SKA-Akademiya): Added the insurance fifth goal at 38:09.

Player of the Match: N. Lvov (SKA-Akademiya) — brace in a 5-3 win.

Dyn. Moscow started with blistering efficiency, scoring twice in the first 4:07. But SKA-Akademiya's response was emphatic: three goals in 4:06 to close the first period. The second period saw both teams trade goals before Shapovalov's strike at 38:09 proved decisive. A scoreless third period confirmed SKA-Akademiya's defensive solidity after taking the lead.

The result is a positive note for SKA-Akademiya in their pre-season preparations, demonstrating resilience after falling behind early. For Dyn. Moscow — who had won two of their last three pre-season games (5-3 vs Ak Bars, 3-1 vs MHC Spartak) — this represents a setback as the MHL regular season approaches.

Both sides continue their pre-season campaigns ahead of the 2026/27 OLIMPBET MHL season.

SKA-Akademiya's composure after a disastrous opening four minutes was the story of this game. Their ability to score three quick goals before the first intermission changed the entire complexion of the match. Dyn. Moscow will regret not capitalising on their flying start, while SKA-Akademiya will take confidence from their character in the comeback.
