KO16 Dinamo Kazan 1 (N Yankun) Harvestehuder THC 5 (M Körper 2, J
Heuer, Goodfield, T Linsmeier)
2014 champions Harvestehuder THC proved too good for Dinamo Kazan as
they swept into the KO8 courtesy of four goals in the first 17 minutes.
It killed off the tie as a contest as the Russians rallied but were
never able to get back in any sort of range. Michael Körper – with his fourth
corner goal of the season having scored three in Round 1 – fired home a low
bullet to start the run.
Tobias Walter did have to be alert to keep out Igor Siniagin’s clean
chance soon after but HTHC soon pulled away. David Goodfield and Leon Willemsen’s
trickery created the second for Jan Heuer to volley in while Goodfield snapped
up the third with a smart turn and shot from mid-circle.
Körper thumped home his second for the fourth in the 17th
minute for an imposing lead which they never looked like relinquishing. Nikolay
Yankun got one back in the 44th minute when he went solo in from the
right wing and touched past Walter.
But a Pavel Golubev yellow card stalled their progress and
Tim Linsmeier’s delicious behind-the-back deflection killed off any remaining resistence at 5-1.
