Typhoon beat Dynamo-Shinnik 3:1 in the MHL on Tuesday, 8 September 2026, at the Dynamo-Shinnik arena. The visitors took the lead and held it, overturning the form that had seen the hosts win their opening game of the season. Dynamo-Shinnik sit top of the table after one match, while Typhoon remain in ninth.
The visitors had lost their previous meeting with Dynamo-Shinnik 4:1 on 7 September, so there was an immediate question of whether they could respond. By then the hosts had already shown they could score freely, winning 4:1 and 4:2 in their earlier fixtures. To be fair, this time Dynamo-Shinnik offered less resistance than usual.
We had backed the home side at 44 per cent confidence, but the match went the other way. The visitors tightened things up in the middle period and took control when Dynamo-Shinnik ran out of ideas. The hosts had nothing to do all evening after the first ten minutes.
Dynamo-Shinnik's recent record included a 4:1 win over Typhoon just yesterday and a 1:2 loss to Алмаз on 23 August. Typhoon's last five games showed a team capable of results against various opponents, including a 4:0 win over Dynamo-Shinnik on 7 August and a 3:2 victory against Стальные Лисы. The pattern shifted overnight.
The result leaves Dynamo-Shinnik first in the standings with one win and zero points - the system awards two for a win in this league, so they carry two points after their opening victory. Typhoon sit ninth with one defeat and zero points. The gap between them remains theoretical for now, but the scoreboard told a different story.
