Guus Hiddink has lamented Anzhi Makhachkala’s 3-3 draw in the Russian Premier League tie and has credit his side for fighting until the end despite playing with ten men
Anzhi Makhachkala failed another chance to close down the gap for the UEFA Champions League’s position after drawing the latest Russian Premier League tie against Dynamo Moscow at Anzhi-Arena (Makhachkala stadium) on Sunday.
Though the home team responded well to score three goals in a row after conceding the opening goal of the match on 36th minute, Guus Hiddink’s side failed to stop the visitors go home with a point after conceding another
two goals in the final quarter of the nail-biting encounter.
Mbark Boussouffa, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alan-Gatagov-c4251 were on the score-sheet for the visitors.
As things stand, the Dagestani club are at the third-spot on the league table with 47 points and trial the Champions League spot, currently occupied by Zenit St. Petersburg, by six points with five league games remaining until
the end of the ongoing campaign.
Speaking on the outcome of the match, Hiddink has lamented their latest draw after admitting that they lost concentration after scoring an early goal. However, he lavished praise on his side’s will power to fight back.
The Wild-division played the second-half with ten men after Boussoufa was sent off. The Dutch-Moroccan International picked up his second yellow card on the 47th minute of the league fixture.
“It's hard to play back-to-back matches. We won against Dynamo in the Russian Cup to advance to the semi-finals on Wednesday, which I consider as a great achievement for our club.”
“I am not fully satisfied with the league result on Sunday but I like how the team played with ten men. Of course, I am somewhat disappointed. The match was interesting and I liked the audience. The championship of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991 is very
difficult and all the matches are complex.” The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 coach was quoted as saying.
Hiddink went on to urge his side to win the remaining matches of the ongoing season if they are to claim a decent spot on the league table.
