Barys – Metallurg Magnitogorsk 7:1 (3:0, 2:0, 2:1)

Leader of the championship suffered the most crushing defeat in the season, while the goalkeeper Proskuryakov was replaced for the first time. The only one positive moment for Metallurg was comeback of Czech forward Jan Marek after he shook off his injury.

General director of Metallurg Magnitogorsk Gennadiy Velichkin commented on his club’s sensational loss to Barys.


"It was a tough day", said Velichkin after his club suffered 1-7 loss to Barys. "All coaches, players and managers were disappointed by this defeat".

"All teams face such moments in their history and we just need to overcome it. Even unbeatable Soviet national team suffered losses to weaker opponents".

"Our players did their best, but the hosts were better prepared and wanted to win more than Metallurg".

"Of course we have no right for such defeats and thanks God that match has already gone down in history. We need to forget about it and prepare for the next games".
