We created several good chances, but unfortunately we couldn’t convert them into goals. If we had finished one of them effectively, the game would have been decided long ago,” the coach said.

About the physical superiority of “Bukhara”

During the press conference, the coach was asked if the “Andijan” players looked physically weaker than “Bukhara”. Shatskikh denied this idea: “I didn’t feel it.
