"Qarabag played very well in the first half against Bayer. We scored two goals against such a strong opponent."
Elkhan Abdullayev, head coach of Azerbaijan's U-18 national team, told Idman.biz.
He evaluated the game of Qarabag against Bayer in Baku in the R16 final stage of the UEFA Europa League. The experienced specialist said that in the second half, the opponent increased the pressure, released the main players one by one, and eventually got the necessary score: we gave them the first goal in Qarabag. True, we had a chance, but Juninho couldn't score the last goal. Despite everything, Qarabag had a good game. Everyone wanted Qarabag to win after the 2:0 score. However, it is true that Bayer did not lose for 34 games. In short, Qarabag showed a "friendly" game. A good and interesting game awaits us next week. We still have to believe in Qarabag.
It should be noted that the match ended with a score of 2:2. Bayer - Qarabag game will take place on March 14 at Bay Arena.
