Invicta’s Anthony Leone was called for roughing at 21.41 and Sheffield’s Matt Haywood scored via the crossbar on the man advantage.

Sheffield continued to dominate, but were kept at bay by Ian Rowlands in the Dynamos’ goal.

Then, with less than a minute to play in the second, A.J Smith picked out Andy Smith, who found the back of the Sheffield net to tie the game at 1-1.

Another Sheffield powerplay effort, from Richie Oliver, made it 2-1 at 46.12, before Anthony Lennon grabbed a powerplay equaliser with eight minutes to go.
