Sandro Schwarz: «The team showed character and deserved the win»

— Today we saw a very emotional game. In the first half, it took some time to enter the match. We controlled the situation on the pitch and earned two penalties, that we converted. In the second half, we could have calmed the game if we had scored the third goal. After the Ufa player was sent off, we lost concentration, which resulted in two goals conceded. I am very happy that we managed to show character and deserved this win.

— Can you say that the red card showed to Ufa player impacted the Dynamo play badly?

— It often happens when a team gets a man advantage, they lose some concentration. Today we saw the same case when we let the match go by 2:0. The opponent was able to benefit from it, and I am glad that my team showed fighting spirit and scored the decisive goal.

— Were there individual mistakes, or the Ufa players managed to find weak points in Dynamo defense?

— Ufa showed themselves well. They are a skilled team, which has a character, has a proper face. At the end of the last season, Ufa earned a lot of points, and it is clear that they are on the right track.

— When Daniil Fomin was preparing to convert the first penalty, you asked Igor Leshchuk something. What exactly?

— I went up to Igor and asked him what his feeling was — would Fomin score or not? And he replied that he would score.
