Dinamo Moscow forward Maxim Dzhioshvili evaluated the team’s performance against Traktor in the first quarter-final match of the series. His words are quoted “Sports Express”.
“Let’s just say it wasn’t the most successful of goals. Apparently they started well, they pressed, they pressed, they scored. Then they made up for it but they didn’t make up for it. Whoever gets more points wins. We need more money, a goal, a place to beat even the goalkeeper. We will find ways. How important is it to put pressure on the goalkeeper? I hope he understands that we will climb there and he will be worried,” Dzhioshvili said.
On March 16, Dinamo lost with a score of 2:4. Maxim Dzhioshvili and Eric O’Dell scored the goals of the blue and white team.
Thus, the score of the series was 1-0 in favor of Traktor. The next match between the teams will be played in Moscow on March 18.
Metallurg and Spartak, SKA and Avtomobilist, Lokomotiv and Avangard will also play in the quarter-finals.
