The seventeenth round of the country championship in football, the match "Shamakhi" - "Gabala", 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 against the Shamakhi team.
Taking into account the interest of the fans, Idman.Biz took a statement from the author of that goal - Farid Iskandarov, the midfielder of "Gabala".
"To be honest, I didn't expect the video of my goal to become so popular on the internet and to 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 was born in Gabala and I am a graduate of our club. I have been playing here since 2010, starting with children's teams," said Farid Iskandarov.
F. Iskandarov commented on the last seconds of the game as follows.
"The match was about to 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 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 the last goal in the squad of my native club," the midfielder of "Gabala" completed his thought.
