"Dagger. Tsygankov was sharp from the first minutes. He was a constant source of danger, asked for the ball and was focused on the opponent's goal in every attack. He played a key role in the first goal with a great pass to Porto. He also tried to score a few times himself."
Mundo Deportivo
"Tsygankov had a clear chance to score in the 11th minute when he struck with his right foot, but the Rayo Vallecano goalkeeper made a save. He had another great opportunity in the 40th minute in a duel with Dani Cardenas. Tsygankov is always ready to create chances."
L'Esportiu de Catalunya
"The Ukrainian worked very well with Porto and took advantage of the space behind the defence to score a goal. He was close to the goal with two powerful long-range strikes. He played for an hour to build momentum for the La Liga matches."
