"Sumgayit did not lag behind the opponent except for the first 30 minutes."
This was told to Idman.biz by the Azerbaijan national team coach Arif Asadov.
He commented on the rematch of Sumgayit against Fehervar in Hungary in the Conference League second qualifying round. According to an experienced specialist, Samir Abasov's team has certain shortcomings: "One of them is not being able to score. Our representative had the power to overcome this team. However, the defeat at home affected the match. If Sumgayit had not been in the minority in the first game, it could have won. That's why the meeting on the trip was difficult. Because there were certain difficulties both physically and psychologically. One of the main factors was the reserve players of Sumgait. This created problems to strengthen the team. Sumgayit made the first substitution in the 80th minute. After the defeat at home, the team actually rallied. In general, they did not play badly."
The match between Sumgayit and Fehervar ended in a goalless draw. Since the opponent won the first match with a score of 2:1, they leveled up, and our representative said goodbye to the European Cup.
