The head coach of “Salavat Yulaev,” **[Viktor Kozlov](https://www.championat.com/coach/2286-viktor-kozlov/)**, shared his thoughts following the team’s 4-3 victory against “Avangard” in an away game during the regular season of the Kontinental Hockey League.

“This is a significant win. Securing two points in Omsk is quite an achievement, especially given our current circumstances with numerous players unwell. The team showed resilience, performed well defensively, and capitalized on their opportunities. Is ‘Avangard’ a convenient opponent for ‘Salavat’? It’s difficult to play against a team like them; they are well-structured and have many skilled players. Moreover, games in Omsk are always challenging,” Kozlov stated, as reported by Lev Lukin from “Championat.”
