Belyaev: Spartak Beat SKA Through Hard Work, Not Flair
Spartak forward Alexander Belyaev says the 3-1 win over SKA came from grinding effort rather than the combination play the team relied on in past seasons.
Spartak beat SKA 3-1, and forward Alexander Belyaev put the win down to hard work rather than the fluent combination play the side leaned on in previous campaigns.
Asked whether Spartak had factored in SKA playing a second match in two days, Belyaev was blunt.
Spartak controlled large spells of the game but had to work for their goals rather than carve SKA open at will. Belyaev said the group is aware finishing needs to improve.
