Dynamo Moscow Defeats Edsbyns for ExTe Cup

LJUSDAL, Sweden -- Dynamo Moscow defended their ExTe World Cup title by defeating Swedish side Edsbyns IF 5-0 in the final. Rinat Shamsutov scored a hat trick in the victory, while Ivan Maximov and Maxim Chernykh also added goals.

Dynamo had to defeat rivals Zorky Krasnogorsk to reach the final, besting them 4-3. Dynamo jumped out to a 4-0 lead thanks to goals from their big four scorers - Sergei Lomanov, Maximov, Yevgeny Ivanushkin, and Sergei Obukhov. Zorky rallied in the final 15 minutes, as Yury Loginoy's goal was bookended by a pair from the tournament's leading goal scorer, Sami Laakkonen.

In the "third-prize match," which, strangely, involved the two worst teams in the tournament, Norway's Stabaek Bandy defeated Finnish side Tornea PV 4-3.
