Nikolai Puchkov Tournament. SKA - Russia U23 - 3:4 SO

The under 23 Russian national team completed the 2024 Nikolai Puchkov Tournament with a hard-fought 4:3 shootout win over competition hosts SKA Saint Petersburg.

SKA took the lead on three separate occasions, but our team always responded with Semyon Sinyatkin, Ivan Demidov and Alexei Vasilkov all hitting the jackpot - the third equaliser arriving with a little less than two minutes left in regulation.

Demidov then subsequently grabbed the winner in the ensuing penalty shootout.
