Atyrau 1-0 Shakhter
Viktor Kumykov, FC Shakhter Head Coach:
- As for the game and match opportunities Shakhter did not deserve a defeat, but a draw would be a fair outcome. However, football is such a game. So, the black streak continues...
Miodrag Radulović, FC Atyrau Head Coach:
- It was a difficult victory. We have beaten a two-times champion. I'm happy that the team has shown a disciplined play in defence. I was pleased with my players and the support of our fans. I am glad that the guys had a wise attitude towards such important matches...
Tobol 0-0 Ordabasy
Viktor Pasulko, FC Ordabasy Head Coach:
- I am very pleased that we have taken a very important point here. Everyone knows our situation as the team is in a bad psychological state. The team needs points to get more confidence. Little by little, we will improve our game. I can not call this game a well-thought one. The goalkeeper was sent off, so we had to restructure our tactics. We did everything well and Tobol virtually had no chance except for some free kicks. I think this point could be our golden at the end of the season.
Timur Urazov, FC Tobol Head Coach:
- We wanted to win very much, but it was a bad start. The game was good and the first half was good too. We tried to fight, and did not give out rivals any time for making decisions. Ordabasy players controlled the ball well and arrange counterattacks. I want to say that the red card played a great role, as Ordabasy played the entire second half in their half of the pitch. All the players did a great job and contributed a lot of power to this game. We are dissatisfied with the result, because we should have won it.
