Head coach of Minsk “Dynamo » Dmitry Kvartalnov after the defeat of Moscow “Dynamo » said his team should not have suffered two penalties at the end of the second game of the first round of the KHL playoffs.
Dynamo Moscow defeated the Minsk team with a score of 4:3, losing 0:2 and 1:3 during the match. In the third period, after the expulsion of Andrei Stas and Roman Gorbunov, the hosts gained the majority twice thanks to goals from Nikita Gusev and Dmitry Rashevsky.
— The playoffs are a different competition, it’s not worth talking about. But we can’t leave the opponent in a 5-on-3 numerical advantage when we control the match. But damn, they’re gifts. You have to control your clubs. This is what we got. And so the game was not bad on our part. In the last game, we seemed to play well in the minority. But now you saw it for yourself – a few moments, and the masters performed it.
— For 50 minutes, you played better than your opponent. What positive things do you see in this match?
– Guys, again this is a completely different competition. You can play better for 59 minutes. But these two goals when we were leading 2:0, in such moments we have to play even better. And in the end you have to control the clubs. There, we did not commit a last resort mistake. So we got it.
— Will it help that the series will be held in Minsk, where tickets for both matches have been sold out?
— Of course, we are happy to return to the Minsk arena. The palace is full, it’s the right time for us, for some young people to prove themselves. We all have to try to turn the series around. I will say once again that we played well today. But everything here decides the fate of the match,” said Kvartalnov, quoted by the correspondent.
The score of the series became 2-0 in favor of the Muscovites. The third match will take place on Wednesday March 6 in Minsk.
