The head coach Akron Yevgeny Kaleshin after losing to Krasnodar in the penalty shootout of the first stage match of the Russian Regions Path Cup final, he said he was unhappy with the current format of the tournament.
On Wednesday, Krasnodar players beat Akron in a penalty shootout at home. The meeting took place in Krasnodar. Regular time ended with the score of 0:0. In the penalty shootout, the bulls were more accurate – 4:2. Hosts goalkeeper Matvey Safonov parried two kicks from 11 yards out.
– An unfair formula, – the correspondent of “” conveys Kaleshin’s words. The participants are in unequal conditions. It’s one thing to play on the fly. In this case, a special approach is applied, you understand that you have no right to be wrong. And when you have a chance to make a mistake, the emphasis is different. Yes, Russia does not participate in European competitions, so RPL teams need additional meetings. You have to accept everything as it is, but I hope that sooner or later a fair formula will return. You have to get out of the Cup. Before we were knocked out – today they knocked us out. It remains only to congratulate the opponents.
In the second stage of the Path of Regions final, players from Krasnodar will face the Urals. The winner of the confrontation will play with CSKA in the super final, which will be held in Moscow at the Luzhniki stadium.
