Qarabag returned home with a 3-1 victory after facing Ferencvaros away in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) play-off round.
Idman.biz reports that Azer Bagirov, former head coach of Araz-Nakhchivan and Kapaz, shared his thoughts on the match in Hungary with Fanat.Az.
The expert stated that Qarabag prepared very well for the game: "At the same time, the Aghdam club was aware of the opponent's strengths. For this reason, our representative played very cautiously in the first, second, and third zones in the first half. A technical error caused the home side to score a goal. In the second half, Qarabag tried to apply pressure in the second and third zones. Since Ferencvaros played more with long passes, our representative's plan to win the ball in the third zone did not work out so well, but our team managed to take the second balls and build confident counter-attacks. True, not all goals were scored during counter-attacks, but the guests, who scored three goals after the break, managed to return home with a confident victory. It seems to me that our representative should play the same way at home. If Qarabag scores a goal in the first half, Ferencvaros will 'break'."
