Former Spartak midfielder Yuri Gavrilov called the defeat of the Red-Whites by Akron in the second stage match of the semi-finals of the FONBET Way of the Regions of the Russian Football Cup a shame.
The team of Evgeny Kaleshin beat the Red-Whites with a score of 2:1.
– Yes, it is clear that Akron has ambitions, young guys play there, but such mistakes in the defense of Spartak, as in the second goal, when a guy who is shorter than the defenders scored, should not be allowed. Such a careless game, it more than once led to the loss of points for Spartak.
It’s just a shame. Shame on Spartak. Away games need to be taken seriously. Somewhere we lost a position, we didn’t score a penalty – we approached this game coolly.
When they realized the seriousness, they began to press. As a result, Akron parked the bus at its gates and that was it. This is the result of the whole game,” Gazeta.Ru quotes Gavrilov.
