Kaka, the head coach of the FC “Gazprom-UGRA”:
– Of course, we did not expect such a large account, I don’t even want to comment on, it is not easy. We understand that 9-1 almost guarantees us the victory in the Cup. But we still realize all the responsibility in front of our fans, who are waiting for further victories, we have to play at home with dignity. We can assume that the today’s score is a set of circumstances, we can assume that it is only the result of our strong game. But I know one thing: today players of the FC “Gazprom-UGRA” showed a very high level of professionalism.

Evgeniy Kuksevich, the head coach of the FC “Siberiak”:
– Probably I will not comment too much, I just want to apologize in front of the fans that filled the hall, for the team, for myself. The responsibility is always with the coach and he has to deal with the players. While there is a chance not to drop the honor, we will play with the whole line-up and we will fight for victory in the second leg. The honor, this is the most important. Once again I apologize for today’s game, we will analize and correct the situation.

– Can you say that the absence of injured players influenced the game?
– Sometime I tried to find some people, change the line-up and, perhaps, it was my fault and I did some tactical and strategic mistakes. We can not say that one person could influence the outcome. We resisted the whole half but then as soon as “Gazprom” improved their game the difference of the level of some players played its role.
