The seventeenth round of the country's football championship, the "Shamakhi" - "Gabala" match, was remembered not only for the defeat of the home team (0:4), but also for the beautiful goal scored in the last seconds of the match.
Taking into account the interest of the fans, Idman.Biz got an explanation from the author of that goal - Farid Iskandarov, the midfielder of "Gabala".
"To be honest, I didn't expect that the video of my goal would be so popular on the Internet and discussed to this extent! Of course, this is very pleasant for me, especially considering that this is my first goal in the Premier League. I was born in Gabala myself and I am a graduate of our club. I have been playing here since 2010, starting from children's teams," said Farid Iskandarov.
F. Iskandarov commented on the last seconds of the game as follows.
"The match was already coming to an end when our striker Paulo Gumilo gave me a good pass seeing that I joined the attack. I received the ball well with one touch and scored a goal. The most interesting thing is that I felt that I would score a goal just before this game. I even imagined from which position I would shoot. I have never had such a situation before. I felt that I would score a goal. I think this will be my first, but not the last goal in the squad of my native club," the midfielder of "Gabala" completed his thought.
