Dambrauskas: It is difficult to play twice against the same opponent, but "Sabah" won

"I said in advance that today's game would be difficult. It is difficult to play 2 times in a row against the same opponent. Both the opponent and we drew conclusions from the previous game, and made some corrections. True, neither the opponent nor we could show our good game today."

Idman.Biz reports that these words were said by Valdas Dambrauskas, the head coach of "Sabah", at the press conference held after the match against "Imishli" in the 1/8 final stage of the national cup.

"Sabah" "Imishli" game ended with the victory of the Baku representative with a score of 2:1.

"We didn't perform very well in the first half. In the second half, the opponent created dangerous episodes. We defended well. We knew that the opponent would rush forward in the second half. I must give credit to my players and my assistant who prepared the homework. In the second half, there was a more open game. We could have finished the game by distinguishing ourselves from counter-attacks. Unfortunately, we couldn't take advantage of the goal opportunities. We took the game to extra time. What saddened me was that we couldn't take advantage of the goal opportunities. It's a cup game, it could have gone to penalties. That's why there was tension towards the end. I have to give credit to my players. I thank our fans who supported us. Tomorrow we have to recover, then an important match against "Neftchi" awaits us," Dambrauskas said.
