Team coaches summed up the results of the meeting
Dynamo head coach Alexey Kudashov complained about poor execution of chances. In his opinion, in the first period the Muscovites could have scored several times.
In such games you need to convert your chances, but instead we conceded in the minority and it became much more difficult. As the game progressed, they tried to change something, looked for new ways, changed links. During training we constantly play different combinations and ligaments.
SKA head coach Roman Rotenberg congratulated the team and fans on the victory, but noted that his players have room to strive. “We need to give the opponent less chances to convert the majority, but we played quite well in the minority. There were some provocations from the opponent somewhere, but it’s great that our players didn’t fall for them,” he noted.
