Goal-scoring defenders in world football have always been in the spotlight and have stood out for their qualities. Nigar Mirzaliyeva, the defender of the Azerbaijani women's national team, is one of them.
Idman.biz reports that the 23-year-old central defender, one of the leading members of our national team, becomes one of our most dangerous players for the opponent during standard situations. Mirzaliyeva, the architect of the victory over the Turkish national team in the qualifying round of the European Championship 2025 last year, also managed to distinguish herself in the away match against Lithuania in April of this year.
The young football player did not hide from the AFFA press service that she wants to remain true to her tradition in today's match in Baku.
