“At times, CSKA was faster than us. After the first goal, we decided that we would play strictly, everything according to the instructions of the technical staff. So we won thanks to that. I would not say that CSKA is became weaker compared to us.” Compared to last season. In the last meeting we had a very even match. I think we were luckier somewhere. CSKA will improve further, they will gain more momentum,” Bardakov told Match TV.
SKA, with 59 points, occupies 4th place in the Western Conference standings. CSKA is in 6th place with 48 points.
