Head coach “Neftekhimika” Oleg Leontiev after the defeat “Siberia” said that due to a defender’s mistake at the end of the match, the team lost the most important points.
On Friday, Neftekhimik lost to Siberia in the home match of the KHL regular season – 1:2. Sergei Shirokov scored the winning goal for the Novosibirsk team 44 seconds before the end.
— We met a neighbor in the classification. We knew what to expect from Sibir. The match was tough, there were few scoring chances, but both teams wanted to make the most of it. It all happened in overtime, even though we had an advantage. The inexplicable action of the defender with a pass through the nickel. This is unacceptable. That’s what they teach in kids’ hockey. In any case, you need to get into the puck confidently and reliably, and not like that. Of course, the opponent took advantage of the opportunity and scored a goal. We lost the most important points,” said Leontiev, quoted by the correspondent.
