Minaya defender Dmytro Nemchaninov commented on the defeat of his team from Dynamo Kyiv (1:3) in the pre-game of the match of the 16th round of the Ukrainian championship.
Dmitry Nemchaninov"In my opinion, there were different halves. In the first, the conditions were dictated by Kyiv and their advantage of two goals was legitimate. Unfortunately, I wrote in my passport auto-goal. I do not remember that it happened to me before in the elite division. I wanted to eliminate the threat in a scramble, but it did not work. However, it cannot be said that before the break we were doomed, we tried, but we did not use our half chances.
The emergence of "fresh" players in the second half favoured Minai. A quick goal added confidence. The rivalry was already on a counter course. There were chances, both for us and for Dynamo, who were more fortunate at the end.
Fans of statistics often use this term: expected goals. So "Minai" in the spring part of the season quite often creates spice at other people's gates, but the realisation fails. Today's match was no exception. That's why, in order to count on a better fate in the next matches should urgently correct the aim. Because three points are not awarded for expected goals. That is why we return home with an unpleasant residue," Sport.ua quoted Nemchaninov as saying.
