Neftekhimik head coach Oleg Leontyev speaks with the media after a following 2–1 overtime win against Barys.
– It was a nervous game. It is okay. The beginning of the championship, the first game, especially road game, against Barys, which has seriously strengthened this year. The support of the stands was felt, it is hard to play here. It is great that we did not concede during penalty killing. We blocked a lot of shots, showed character. We also showed the will to win, because during the game we were trailling 0:1. We fought until the end, and in overtime, Dea scored a good goal. I repeat, Barys is a strong team. Our guys are great, congratulations on the victory.
