"Shamakhi" lost to "Gabala" with a score of 1:3 in the last - 33rd round of the 2025/26 season of the Misli Premier League. Sport24.az reports that the head coach of the guests, Aykhan Abbasov, expressed his views at the press conference held after the match:
"The championship is over. I thank my team. It was a tough season. Our goal was to be better than last season. If we analyze it, we will see that we have become better than last year. Last season there were 10 teams in the Premier League. This season the competition was tougher among 12 teams. We also progressed in the cup. The team progressed in terms of the development of young players, the adaptation of good legionnaires. That was our goal. I thank the management, players, and coaches. I wish "Gabala" success. They have a difficult play-off match ahead. I hope they win a worthy victory. I believe that "Shamakhi" will make the right decision and agree with a coach who will continue this work and try to be better than this year."
