Neftekhimik forward Evgeny Mityakin speaks with the media after a following 4–2 win over Spartak.

– Evgeny, congratulations on the win! How difficult was it to find motivation for this game, given the loss in the previous game in Togliatti?
It is a shame that we could not win and make playoffs. We will remember and worry about this for a long time. We are all very upset. However, the season is not over, there are still games left and we must not give up. Therefore, in the remaining games, we must go out and give our best.

Today we won a beautiful victory. Please comment on this meeting.
Indeed, it turned out to be a good, fighting match. I can't help but mention Ozolin, who played great on the last line today. He has not played for a long time, so we needed to help him. In principle, that's what happened. In addition, he saved, and we scored good goals, held out in the minority. So it is a team victory.

You played great in the middle of the court, giving practically nothing to the skilled opponent...
Before the game, the coaching staff explained to us how to play with Spartak. We tried to do it, took into account all the nuances. As a result - a good victory.

There are two games with Admiral ahead. I think the guys will give it their all to finish the championship beautifully...
- We will give it our all, play only to win.
