Igor Akinfeev: We only have ourselves to blame for defeat
— Igor, what are your impressions of the match, despite being eliminated from the Cup?
— I have a good impression, the stadium was full, the pitch was very good. Our fans expected more from us and we should have played better, but that’s football. Kuban deserved the win tonight. We only have ourselves to blame for defeat.
— Red-Blues weren’t good enough in the attacking play tonight. What are the reasons?
— We’ll discuss that inside our team. I don’t want to say anything in the aftermath. We should congratulate Kuban, they deserved the win more.
