Russia U23 forward Daniil Lazutin:
- I wouldn't say that it was an easy game. In terms of their average age, Ak Bars had an even team in comparison to ours. Both sides fought for the victory. I scored the winning goal? I think that it provided all of us with a boost of motivation, not just me. Naturally, I'm happy that I managed to score. My line with Ivan Demidov and Vladislav Romanov? We played together for all of last season, so we have no problem with playing productively - even at senior level.
