“The Muscovites played an excellent match, goalkeeper Rybar played superbly. Spartak surprised us with their game. They acted confidently and openly, playing one of the best matches in recent years.
But on the SKA side, it is clear that the team leaders were not playing at their usual level. Yes, they lost today’s game, but there is no tragedy in that. They remain contenders for the Gagarin Cup,” Kozhevnikov said at the Championship.
