“SKA-Energiya” Khabarovsk lost to “Rostov” 0:2 away match in the first play-off match of the Russian Premier League. This time the club lost home match 0:1. So, the team of Giorgi Daraselia could not achieve success and stayed in First Division.
Only one Georgian played from “SKA-Energiya”: Shota Grigalashvili was in lineup and was substituted at the 70th minute. Otar Martsvaladze was a substitute. Others could not get on the list.
“We are very disappointed. We had a chance. We wanted to gain advantage in the center of the field and that is why we had two midfielders”, - stated Daraselia after the match.
Sergey Feldman, general director of “SKA-Energiya”: “I do not think that everything would have been decided in Rostov. We had a chance in Khabarovsk but Lasha Salukvadze could not play due to injury. Otar Martsvaladze and Gocha Khojava were also injured. We lost in the center of the field. We will discuss the match in two days. We will make some changes. Contract of many football players expires. Will Daraselia leave? I do not know, nothing is excluded”.
