Midfielder “Kuban” Vladislav Ignatiev after the victory (1: 0) over CSKA Moscow in the Russian Cup semifinals explained that was the main reason for the defeat of the army, as well as assess the strength of the tournament finalists.

– «Kuban” gave all his energy to this victory, no one spared himself – quoted footballer Sportbox.ru correspondent Maxim Zaitsev. – We no longer wanted to win in this match and we achieved it. We managed a lot in this game, we controlled the game, well-acted in defense. Already in the first half, it was clear that the game will go to the first ball. In the second half we were just lucky that we scored first. I think that if CSKA made a positional mistake in defense. We well remember the crushing defeat that year by the army.

Not to say that it is only motivated us, but, of course, we wanted to take revenge on CSKA. We’ve got it. How it reflected in the actions of the enemy the loss of Roman Eremenko? A midfielder was unable to play, the other left. Let Alan Dzagoev is currently not in his best form, it is still a football team. Perhaps against Eremenko it would be difficult to operate, but we played this match great. Usually when we think during the match that the victory we have in your pocket, you often overlook it. This time we played to the end. I hope that this success will help us in the championship of Russia. Ahead of us a very important match. But this victory is historic. So “Kuban” is moving in the right direction.
