Talgat Baisufinov: "The Players Fought Until the Final Whistle"

"I think we got what we needed from this match. The team showed great character. Even though some decisions went against us, the players kept fighting until the very end.

After the game, I expressed my gratitude to the players. Today, I spoke to them about the importance of consistency. If we can maintain this level of performance, we will be well prepared for the autumn fixtures.
Today, we once again showed the character that has always defined the Kazakhstan national team. It's about emotion, character, determination, the ability to prove yourself when it matters, to fight until the very end and to keep pushing for victory.

The match against Armenia was very intense, and today's game was no different. Despite that, the players managed their energy well and maintained their intensity until the final whistle, while executing the discipline and game plan we had asked of them. I was very pleased to see that.

Any team that has an opportunity to score late in a match will look to take it. We did the same. The players gave everything on the pitch and demonstrated their character. That is why there was no reason to stop them from pushing forward and looking for a goal."
