Tashkent's "Bunyodkor" defeated "Bukhara" 2:1 in the 19th round of the Super League. After the match, the head coach of the team, Ilyos Zeytullayev, evaluated the game and shared his thoughts.
"The game, of course, was under great pressure. We successfully fulfilled the tasks set before us because the previous match ended in a defeat. However, this victory was deserved by our team. Every player fought from the first minute to the last, and the result was pleasant for us. I felt that we all, as a team, achieved victory. I congratulate all the players and hope that we will continue to work in this spirit," said Ilyos Zeytullayev.
— Matija Krivokapić started in the main lineup and registered a goal and an assist. How would you evaluate his performance?
— "He is a young and talented player with great potential. When we were looking for a forward, we tried to select exactly such a player. He is young, good with the ball, and technically very capable. He showed his abilities, and if he continues in this manner, we will be happy."
— "Bukhara" scored a goal, and the "Bunyodkor" players seemed to go passive for a few minutes. In this situation, "Bukhara" could have scored a second goal. What do you think about this?
— "Such situations happen in football, and that’s why football is so interesting. When the score was 1:1, it was mentally difficult. I understand this, because last year we were in the same situation. Fighting for survival is not easy, and in the Super League, there are no easy games. Every team is fighting for its position. Uzbek football is undoubtedly on the path of growth and development."
Bunyodkor's victory in this match was an important step for the team and demonstrated its continued development.
