Yunost Minsk edged HK Lida 1-0 in regulation at the Salei Cup, with the deciding goal coming in the second period. A tight, low-event game turned on that lone strike, and Yunost’s structure held firm the rest of the way.
The opening period finished scoreless before Yunost broke through in the middle frame to take a 1-0 lead after 40 minutes. HK Lida pressed for an equalizer in the third, but Yunost managed the game out and secured the win without conceding.
The final 1-0 scoreline tells the story: Yunost needed only one goal and made it stand. The goaltending and penalty kill, while not detailed here, gave the team a clean sheet in a true grind-it-out victory.
