Oleg Leontyev: «Our players played well»

Neftekhimik head coach Oleg Leontyev speaks with the media after a following 1–3 loss against Metallurg Mg.

– The guys were ready for this battle. Our players played well. We did not take advantage of goal-scoring chances we had when we were trailing 1–2. I think that it was a key moment of the game.

– Why Nikita Khlystov scratched from the roster?

– Nikita is a little sick. We decided to give him some time. He will be available for the next games.
