Attack “Spartacus” Egor Filin after defeating “Torpedo” in the Fonbet championship match KHL told that his team’s goal in the first half with the score 0:3 was very important.
On Tuesday, Spartak defeated Torpedo at home in a match of the regular Fonbet KHL championship with a score of 7:3. During the first period, the Muscovites lost by three goals. Filin scored Spartak’s third goal.
— Spartak started the match well, created chances, but ended with a score of 0:3. What happened?
— Yes, it seems that we started well in terms of movement, but then we made mistakes in defense and the score became 0:3. This struck psychology. It’s good that we managed to score a goal before the break, it helped turn things around. We dominated in the second half.
— “Spartak” pressed with risk, and “Torpedo” cut the players with a long pass and ran away with a numerical advantage. Were you excited about the game?
– But we conceded two goals in the minority. Yes, we didn’t play well, we failed positionally. But nothing, we corrected everything, we restructured ourselves in numerical inferiority and we played differently in the second period.
— You scored a very important goal by equalizing the score. They played smart – they threw it behind the goal into the goalkeeper’s panel. Is this what you wanted?
– Actually, I was just throwing the puck at the penny. I knew the goalkeeper would make a move towards the goal. I saw that he moved far away. Alexey Kovalev said that we should charge more for a penny. Depending on the situation, I played, threw it there and it turned out that I scored,” Filin told .
