Solid Performance: Razin Analyzes Metallurgs Victory Over Severstal

The head coach of «Metallurg,» **[Andrey Razin](https://example.com/tags/23535-andrej-razin/)**, commented on their away victory against «Severstal» (5:2) and acknowledged the speed of the Cherepovets team.

«Severstal has a fast team. The first 10 minutes were challenging for us – we had to defend a lot. We managed to withstand their pressure and then balanced the game. We played a solid, almost flawless second period. The power play worked effectively again. It’s unfortunate how the third period started for us.

However, I believe we played quite well today and didn’t panic. We provided our opponents with few opportunities, despite them having their moments. The fifth goal came at a crucial time, which helped us secure the win. As for the absence of Yakovlev and Johnson? Let’s just say that today we played with faster hockey players,» Razin was quoted by the KHL press service.
