The seventeenth round of the country's football championship, the "Shamakhi" - "Gabala" match, was remembered not only for the home team's defeat (0:4) but also for the beautiful goal scored in the final seconds of the match.
Taking into account the interest of the fans, Idman.Biz obtained a statement from the author of that goal – "Gabala" midfielder Farid Iskandarov.
"To be honest, I didn't expect the video of my goal to become so popular on the internet and be 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 myself was born in Gabala and am a product of our club. I have been playing here since 2010, starting with the youth teams," said Farid Iskandarov.
F.Iskandarov commented on the final seconds of the game as follows.
"The match was already coming to an end when our striker Paulo Qumilo saw that I was joining the attack and gave me a great pass. I received the ball well with one touch and scored a goal. The most interesting thing is that I felt I would score a goal just before this game. I even imagined from which position I would shoot. I had never had such a thing before. I felt I would score a goal. I think this will not be my first, but not my last goal in the squad of my native club," the "Gabala" midfielder concluded.
