The main coach of « Dnipro Azot » Georgi Stupenchuk:  

 

«Comparing with the game in Kiev, we played today not bad in defense. Even not very bad. Sure, there were obvious mistakes we have to work with in the future. The team played how the opponent’s defense allowed them to play. But in general, I’m satisfied with the game. Sure, we could lose only 5-6 points, it would be more interesting, but Cherkassy could hold advantage».
