"The game against "Zagatala" was tough. The opponent suffered a big defeat in the away game against Mingachevir a round before".
These words were said by the head coach of "Sabail", Adil Shukurov.
The experienced specialist shared his thoughts on the game in which his team defeated "Zagatala" in the 25th round of the league.
"That's why they were trying to prove themselves at home. Although the opponent had several scoring opportunities at the beginning of the match, we were able to prevent this thanks to the correct game of my players. Throughout the match, we tried not to give the opponent a chance to score. After we scored the third goal, "Zagatala" reconciled with the defeat. The end of the game was easier for us. I always note that in the First League, there have been many surprises for teams that were expected to become champions in advance. We don't want to show the same approach. A lot can change in the next two rounds. It is very difficult to say now which team will be second and which will be third", he said in a statement to sport24.az.
It should be noted that the "Zagatala" - "Sabail" match ended with a 0:3 defeat of the home team. Thus, "Sabail" reduced the point difference with the leader "Shafa" to four and settled in second place.
