Russia 23 head coach Nikolai Voevodin:

- The guys followed our game plan, not allowing Avangard to take advantage of their counter-attack opportunities. We can see that our young players are capable of competing at the highest level, they're continuing to progress well. Maxim Velikov's goal? We know that he's capable of making great individual plays.
