In the central match of the 10^th Round FC Astana beat FC Kaysar with a score of 1:0.

Acting Head Coach of the capital team Paul Ashworth told about the match, Mayeuski’s injury and the tournament intrigue:

- I am very happy with this victory! We have a very difficult schedule, matches are played every 3-4 days, and each player today made his maximum, the team managed to show mettle, so we deserved this result. I am very pleased with every player who entered the field today. It is clear that there were mistakes, but without them there is no football. Already on Sunday the next tough match awaits us, we must be ready for that match and must think only about it.

- Today, in the first half, you were forced to substitute Ivan Mayeuski. How is his health?

- He has a broken nose, he went from the match straight to the hospital. Yura Logvinenko, who took field instead of him, played very well. He showed that he has a lot of experience, controlled the course of the match. I am very happy with the way he played today.

- What is the reason for the fact that you delayed the substitutes until the last minutes?

- We played well, so I didn’t want to make the team weaker. Tigran, Marin and Pieros in front were dangerous, Maks Ebonh moved very well, did a lot, there was no point in changing them. Runar was a little tired by the end of the match, so we substituted him to Dorin Rotariu. He took the field well, created an opportunity, so I think we did everything right.

- After the victory, you can see the standings, there is a gap, but is it really possible to catch up with FC Kairat?

-I don’t want to look at the standings, it is important for us to think and win every next match.
