"Baku Sporting" head coach: "We lost 2 points in this match"

We had faced "Mingachevir" twice. We won away, and they won at home. Our position in the tournament table is close." This was said by "Baku Sporting" head coach Royal Najafov in his statement to Sport24.az.

The young expert commented on his team's draw with "Mingachevir" in the 19th round of the First League:

"It was an important match for both teams. In the first 15 minutes, we had 2-3 goal episodes and took the lead by taking advantage of one of those chances. After that, the game leveled off. The first half ended with a score of 1:1. When we were ahead in the score, our football player could not take advantage of the one-on-one episode with the goalkeeper. If we had increased the difference, we could have won by a big score. The chance was wasted, and this created psychological tension in the football players. We played well in the second half as well. We had to win. I regret to say that we were the team that lost 2 points in this match. In the next round, we will play against "Sabail". The opponent's strength is known, they came from the Premier League. We have played twice and the winner has not been determined. We still have time. Due to the national break, the football players have been given a rest. We have 8 final matches ahead of us."

It should be noted that the "Baku Sporting" - "Mingachevir" match ended with a score of 1:1.
