Jan Bobrovsky (coach Gambrinus Sika):

"We improved our defence; that was the main step to our victory. We covered both Russian pivots Ann Wauters and Maria Stepanova. It was a risky tactic, because our rival had then space for shooting from long distance. Ou enthusiasm decided our victory and we were also the luckier team. We are very pleased with the result, to beat such a strong Russian team is always a big success."

Gundars Vetra (coach CSKA):

"We played very bad and without move in the beginning of the game. Our shooting was poor. Gambrinus Sika played better in defense."
