Neftchi’s hopes of qualifying for European tournaments have officially come to an end following their latest result in the Misli Premier League.
This outcome was confirmed in Matchday 32 of the domestic league, Idman.biz reports.
The Baku-based club dropped two crucial points in Sumgayit, drawing 2-2 against the local team. As a result, Neftchi, currently in 6th place, has no chance of climbing to 4th, which is the minimum position required for a European spot.
Samir Abasov’s side, who sit on 36 points, trail Turan Tovuz by 13 points with only a few matches remaining.
If Qarabag — the league champion — also wins the Azerbaijan Cup, the 4th-placed team in the Premier League will earn a ticket to the UEFA Conference League.
