Tekstilshchik CEO: “After the removal of the Amkal player, our advantage was not felt”

Tekstilshchik General Director Igor Ershov commented on the victory over Amkal in the second round of the FONBET Path of Regions of the Russian Cup, noting that the Ivanovo team did not have a power play.

The main time of the meeting in Ivanovo ended with the score 0:0. Tekstilshchik won in the penalty shootout. From the 49th minute, the guests played in the minority, Evgeny Marichev received a direct red card.

— Not bad started the first half — there were moments. But already in the middle of the first half the game leveled off. The second half started better, but after the removal of the Amkal player, our advantage was not particularly felt. Maybe the psychological factor played: we remained in the majority and might have thought that we would still have time to score in half an hour.

Maybe “Amkal” picked up. But globally, the 11-on-10 game did not work out. There was no such thing that we locked them in the penalty area. As a result, they reached the penalty spot, where they turned out to be stronger for the second year in a row, ”Championship” quotes Yershov.
