What people are saying
Нападающие немного не справились со своей работой.
Мы четыре дня отдыхали, какая усталость, какая потеря концентрации?
Не самое лучше начало, но сумели перевернуть игру. И сегодня отличная реализация моментов, за счёт этого и победили.
Победили за счёт характера и высокой самоотдачи.
