"Sabail" is one of our main rivals in terms of the standings. Our plan was to score an early goal and make the match more comfortable." These words were said by the head coach of "Baku Sporting" Royal Najafov in his statement to Sport24.az.
The young specialist shared his thoughts on the game in which his team lost points with "Sabail" in the 13th round of the First League:
"We had enough scoring chances in the first half. Because we couldn't score, the opponent also started to control the game. In some minutes of the second half, "Sabail" played better than us. In the end, both teams were satisfied with one point. It is too early to talk about the championship. This applies to all teams. There are 11 rounds ahead and we will witness intense competition in the First League. Any team can lose points in these games. Meetings with teams at the bottom of the standings are more intense than with those at the top. Each match is like a final. Time will tell which team will be where at the end of the season."
It should be noted that the score was not opened in the "Sabail" - "Baku Sporting" match.
