“I think we deserved more than a draw. We created many chances but did not implement them. If Amkar, at 1-0, would have managed to score the second goal, then it would have been hard to recoup. In the first half, we lacked speed and in the second half, we
created enough chances. It's a shame that we did not manage to score a second goal.” The former FK Rubin Kazan player was quoted as saying.
