"It was a match as I expected." These words were said by former "Qarabag" player Muarem Muarem in his statement to Sport24.az.
The former midfielder shared his thoughts on the first match of the third qualifying round of the Champions League, in which the Azerbaijani champion defeated "Shkendija" (1:0) in North Macedonia:
"Both teams had scoring opportunities. It was a difficult game for both sides. "Qarabag" looked perhaps a little more stable in a tactical sense. But let's not forget that there is also a return match. The fate of the pair will be decided in that match."
It should be noted that the return match between the teams will be held on August 12 in Baku.
