Neftekhimik Head Coach Oleg Leontyev speaks with the media after a following 4–5 shootout loss against Amur.
– We played well in the first two periods, took the lead, and controlled the game. However, in the third period, Amur stepped up, which is why we conceded goals. Everything was heading towards overtime, and that is what happened. But the winner was determined only in a shootout, where the opponent turned out to be more skilled.
