Nomad Edge Aktobe in a Thrilling Contest

Today, Konstantin Pushkaryov’s team faced Aktobe for the second time during their road trip. The game ended 5:4 in favour of Nomad after a hard-fought battle.

In the opening period, Kirill Nikitin and Matvey Umerenkov combined to score the first goal for the Astana side. However, Umerenkov suffered a facial injury shortly afterwards and was unable to continue the game. Hakhnazar Kenesbay then doubled the visitors’ lead.

Aktobe fought back, not only drawing level but also taking the lead. Yan Khomenko, Galiasqar Aipov and Maxim Bazanov all found the net. Adil Beisembayev then made the most of a power-play opportunity to tie the game, but Zahar Zakharov put the hosts back in front soon afterwards.

Nomad took control at a crucial stage of the game. Kenesbay scored his second goal of the night, and Abai Mangisbayev netted the winner to secure a 5:4 victory for the Astana team.
