Attack CSKA Anton Zabolotny said that the army goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev calmly reacted to the first missed goal in the match of the 24th round of the Russian Championship against Lokomotiv.
The match took place at the Russian Railways Arena and ended with a score of 3:3. In the 44th minute, Lokomotiv defender Ilya Samoshnikov parachuted the ball onto Akinfeev.
— Why did the game turn out to be a “swing”?
– There is no explanation. The (second) goal gave us strength, we wanted to win back as quickly as possible, we had a voluntary push, Lokomotiv sat down and retreated. This gave us an advantage. Then the reinforcements arrived, we played with four attackers, we went all in.
—Who would be closest to victory?
– An equal match, they had chances, we had some. We underperformed at set pieces and made serious errors in defense. Both teams underperformed from set pieces.
We try to win every game and concede as few goals as possible after the 70th minute.
— How did Igor handle the first missed goal?
“He’s an experienced player, I think he didn’t worry too much, he focused on other moments,” Zabolotny said on .
