"It was a frustrating defeat. Although we won the first game, we knew a difficult return match awaited us."
Idman.Biz reports that these words were said by the head coach of "Shamakhi" club, Ayxan Abbasov, after the return match with "Qarabağ" in the 1/4 final stage of the Bizon Azerbaijan Cup.
The game ended with a score of 3:1 in favor of "Qarabağ". Based on the results of two games, the Aghdam club advanced to the semi-finals.
"The first 10 minutes were not good for us. After the 10th minute, we both scored a goal and had goal opportunities. In the second half, we were expecting pressure from the opponent. We made mistakes in the defense plan. Nevertheless, the guys fought to the end. If we could have scored the penalty in the last minute, maybe we would have had chances in extra time. Playing every four days takes its toll. We will prepare for the 3rd round of the Premier League. The cup is over for us," Abbasov said.
