Back to Russian championship Karyaka celebrated his 50-th goal in Premier Liga during Saturn clash with Zenit.

"It's a great pleasure for me to score," said Karyaka to Sport Express.

"However Fatih Tekke's equalizer on the last minutes of the game made us disappointed."

"All players were greatly insulted by the fact that we didn't manage to gain a victory in the first match of the season."

"The rivals pressed us for most mast of the game after Gogua was sent off."

"Zenit were awarded with a penalty kick but Riksen didn't fired in."

"When I was chosen to kick the other one I didn't think about the first failure."

"Before the starting whistle we agreed that Kirichenko would realize penalty kicks."

"But by that time he was already substituted so I was absolutely ready to fire in a goal."

"After Saturn goalkeeper Alexey Botvinnyev prevented his team from conceding a goal Zenit progress became evident."

"In some way our keeper's triumph urged us forward."

"We must attack as much as possible but not to play defensive football during all the game."

"To my mind we showed our best in Saint Petersburg."

"We had good moments and could win the encounter."

"It's a pity that we didn't manage to stand till the very end."
