"The fate of the tie was clear after the first game. After the match in Baku, it was clear which team would reach the 1/8 finals." This was stated by Elmar Bakhshiyev, the former head coach of "Araz-Nakhchivan", in a statement to Sport24.az.
The experienced specialist commented on "Qarabag's" match against "Newcastle" in the Champions League play-off stage:
"As for yesterday's game, the first minutes were very difficult for our team. "Qarabag" managed to recover later. If there was a little more accuracy, it would have been possible to end the match in a draw. The result achieved by the Aghdam representative is of course very good. It was a successful season. Anything is possible in football. We may see our team in this stage again in the future. Not only "Qarabag", but other clubs can also prioritize this success for themselves."
It should be noted that the "Newcastle" - "Qarabag" match ended with a 3:2 victory for the home team. Since the English representative also won (6:1) in the first match between the parties, the "bay horses" stopped fighting in the Champions League.
