Elmar Bakhshiyev: "We fought worthily, we continue on our way"

"We watched a good game. Both teams fought worthily. We knew what awaited us away."

Idman.biz reports that this was said by Elmar Bakhshiyev, the head coach of "Araz-Nakhchivan", at the press conference after the return match with "Aris" in the II qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League.

The experienced specialist emphasized the strength of his opponent: "We were the lucky side today. As for the penalty episode, I never wanted to discuss the referees' decision. In the game in Baku, a penalty should have been awarded in our favor, but they didn't do it. We didn't exaggerate this either. The turning point of the game was not the penalty episode. It is also necessary to emphasize Aris' game. It is a good, organized team. My players made a comeback in the game in Baku as well. In both games, Araz-Nakhchivan did a good job on the field."

Elmar Bakhshiyev was satisfied with his team's performance: "Such stages consist of two games. You say that we had two episodes and we evaluated both of them. These are elements of football. If we look at the game in Baku, if we calculate the episodes, we should have won with a score of 5:1. As a team, we fought well and worthily. We continue on our way."

It should be noted that "Araz-Nakhchivan" will face "Omonia" (Cyprus) in the III stage of the tournament.
