It is curious that Alexander Gorshkov saved the guests from defeat in a series of post-match shots. After the match against Amur (3-4 B) on December 6, in a conversation with a journalist, Admiral’s coach Leonid Tambiev promised to put Gorshkov in the penalty shootout. The journalist himself asked Tambiev about this.

“Name your favorite. I bet, seriously. Gorshkov? Good. I will put it. Why not? You’re an Admiral fan. From the outside it is clearer,” Tambiev said then.

Today the coach of the Primorye team kept his word and Gorshkov converted one of two attempts. Thanks to Alexander’s accurate shot, he continued the shooting, in which Gutik distinguished himself.
