Match report
Yekaterinburg beat Spartak Moscow 4:2 on September 26th in the KHL. The away side took all three points at the Spartak arena, shifting the balance after a run of poor results for both clubs. We had given Spartak the edge in our preview, but the match took a different turn entirely.
Yekaterinburg needed something to break their losing streak, and they found it against a Spartak side that had already dropped two straight games. The visitors scored more goals than the hosts, which matters more than any table position at this stage.
By then, Spartak were playing from behind and had nothing left to lose. They pushed forward but could not find the equaliser, while Yekaterinburg held their shape when it counted.
The result keeps Spartak in fifth place after eight games — five wins, three losses — while Yekaterinburg drop further to ninth with two victories and six defeats. Both sides remain on zero points in their respective columns, which simply means the season has barely begun and the table carries little weight yet.
For Spartak, this ends a run that included wins over Traktor and Metallurg but also defeats to Avangard and Salavat Yulaev. For Yekaterinburg, it breaks a sequence of losses to Cherepovets, Kunlun, Dinamo Minsk, Avangard and Novosibirsk.
