Our team made a first step towards the Russian Cup Final Four on the court of MTL Arena in Samara confidently beating Krasnye Krylia.

Krasnye Krylia Samara vs. CSKA: 61-73

Evgeny Pashutin, CSKA head coach:
“Any surprise is possible in the Russian Cup as all the teams are showing different concentration knowing that they are able to reach their goals in one or two games. That’s why we prepared very seriously and we planned to control the tempo of the game. I think we succeeded though we made a lot of mistakes. We tried to provide more playing time for our reserves as they are very important for CSKA and Russian National Team.”
