"It's always nice to win. We tried to play football. I think we achieved a deserved victory."

The game ended with a score of 3:2 in favor of the Nakhchivan representative.
"We had a good opponent in front of us. "Zira" is a very well-organized team that knows what it wants. The head coach's work is visible, they don't try to hit anywhere, they try to show football. I congratulated my players on the victory. We won a deserved victory. We tried to surpass "Zira". Unfortunately, we made mistakes in some minor situations. In this case, we gave the opponent a chance. We also saw a goal in our goal.
But to get stronger, to play more orderly, smarter football for higher places is necessary. It is necessary to hold the ball firmly, not to give it to the opponent in simple situations. We won. We were also lucky in some places. A penalty was also awarded to our goal in the last minutes. It could have been a draw, but we won," the head coach said.
