Maxim Shinkarev:
– Fair draw. Mostovoy at the start for sure! We need to make a mark before the winter holidays!
Konstantin Zaitsev:
– It’s a shame for Mostovoy, he could have solved everything, but he was unlucky, and Izidor dealt a heavy blow.
Nikita Poshechikhin:
– Krasnodar needs more felting. And teaches Karas the rules of football. Okay, we’ll play ours again. The Zénith is a champion!
Constantin Boudarine:
– I haven’t had such emotions for a long time! Amazing ending, it was a bit short, but there will be more!
Maxim Popov:
– Animal Farm came to play for a draw, killed time, acted to the fullest. But a question for our team, why can’t we play the whole match like after a missed goal? Why is a redesign necessary?
