Head coach of Nizhnekamsk “Neftekhimika » Oleg Leontiev said that the large score in the KHL regular season match does not reflect the course of the match with Astana “Barys “
On Monday, Neftekhimik lost to Barys with a score of 0:8, this is the biggest defeat in the history of Nizhnekamsk’s performances in the KHL.
— If you look at the statistics, we shot 31 times at the opponent’s goal, 27 shots were taken against our goal. If you look at the score, there’s a kind of dissonance. The opposing goalkeeper played superbly, bringing us in at the right time. Unfortunately, we failed to convert good scoring chances. Unpleasant score, I agree.
— How destabilizing is a quick goal in the 13th second?
— Even the second goal (in the 4th minute) was not the key goal, because in the first and second periods there was an almost equal struggle. The goal scored two minutes before the end of the second period was probably the turning point. It’s not nice to be first, if you lead the game and control the match you have to score and win. Unfortunately, we have not achieved this yet,” Leontiev said at a press conference.
Neftekhimik occupies the last place in the Eastern Conference standings with 3 points after 7 matches.
