Frankly speaking, I had a moment when I absolutely had to score, the other guys had moments when they had to score, but they either played for themselves or chose other options... This is what makes up the fate of the match. Dynamo had one or two chances that they managed to realize, which is why we lost the match. We can say that we lost the match ourselves today.
- We played very tightly against you personally today.
- Usually, such matches are like this when the result puts pressure on both teams. Both teams play very cautiously and everything is decided by little things - they scored and we didn't.
- It is only the beginning of the second round and we can still catch up. Is it still ahead?
- Yes, everything is still ahead. We need to keep working and there are still many key matches ahead, and nothing terrible has happened.
