Kvartalnov named the key moment that led to the dry exit from the Gagarin Cup.
The head coach of Minsk's Dynamo, Dmitry Kvartalnov, spoke about which match he believes was the turning point in the series against Kazan's Ak Bars. According to the coach, the decisive game was the second one, which his team was essentially winning but lost the victory in the final seconds. "In the second match – we pulled it off and conceded in just a few seconds. That was the key moment. We gave away that game, which should have been ours," Kvartalnov's words are quoted by a correspondent from "TI-Sport." The coach admitted that Dynamo could not adapt to a strong opponent: "We probably didn't quite adapt, we wanted to take it with our attack, but our attack didn't go well, we got stuck. Kazan didn't let us." He also noted the high class of Ak Bars players: "They have a very good central axis... Experienced guys play in the playoffs, they know how to take a hit."
Ak Bars won the quarterfinal series with a score of 4-0. Next, the Kazan team will play in the semifinals against the winner of the Metallurg – Torpedo series. The score in this series is 3-1 in favor of Magnitogorsk.
