"The game consisted of two parts. The first half is one game, the second half is quite different. In the first half, I note the quality ball control from our side. And I liked the first half. Going into the second half, we had the same plan - ball control. We realised that it was quite hot outside, it was hard for both teams. But, of course, after the suspension we reorganised a bit. We played according to the score and the most important thing is the score, the result.

The general impression of the game - I liked it in the first half, in the second half there was little football, there was a lot of fighting. We rebuilt our game in the break, the players came out more defence-oriented and can play disciplined, it is Kushnirenko, later Ogirya, Budkovskiy, who can work and get hold of the ball. We expected a possible penalty, so we did not radically reorganise the game. What happened is what happened," said Kalitvintsev.
