Emil Rajkovic, CSKA head coach:

This was an interesting game for spectators. In the second half we did not want to take any risk and we played much better. We shared the ball, we played aggressive defense and created an advantage that was difficult to catch for Loko. The team showed good reaction after the loss to Zenit. Next is the very important game against UNICS. It will be a tough one as we want to keep the lead in the standings. Also I would like to thank our fans. I asked our sports director Andrey Shchepankov before the game if we will have any supporters, and the group of CSKA fans was big and really loud, we could hear them which is very important in kind of hostile environment. They really helped us today, and I would like to say that we are happy to see our fans in every city where we travel to play.
