An 18-year record has been repeated in the semi-final stage of the Azerbaijan Cup.
The Professional Football League told Report about this.
The first semi-final matches were notable for the fact that three of the four teams that appeared scored 2 goals. In the match "Qarabag" - "Sabah" (2:2), both teams scored twice, and in the match "Turan Tovuz" - "Ziira" (0:2), the guests scored twice.
For the 3rd time in the history of the country's cup, at least 3 teams scored 2 or more goals in the first semi-final matches. This productivity was last recorded 18 years ago. In the 2007/08 season, only one team scored less than 2 goals in the pairs "Gabala" - "Khazar-Lankaran" (1:3) and "Neftchi" - "Inter" (2:2).
A similar incident also occurred in the 1994/1995 season. Three teams showed productivity in the matches "Neftchi" - "Khazri" (2:1) and "Kapaz" - "Kur-Nur" (3:3).
In total, 6 goals were scored in 2 matches, and the average productivity was 3.00. For the 9th time in the history of the Azerbaijan Cup, this figure has been 3 or higher in the first matches of the 1/2 final.
The absolute record belongs to the 1994/1995 season. 9 goals were scored in the matches "Neftchi" - "Khazri" (2:1) and "Kapaz" - "Kur-Nur" (3:3), and the average score was 4.50. 8 goals were recorded in the 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 seasons, and 7 goals in the 2023/2024 season.
