The match between "Shamakhi" and "Gabala" in the seventeenth round of the national championship was memorable not only for the home team's defeat (0:4), but also for the spectacular goal scored in the last seconds of the match.
Taking into account the interest of the fans, Idman.Biz took a comment from the author of the 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 to be discussed so much! Of course, I am very happy about this, 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 already coming to an end when our striker Paulo Qumilo saw that I had joined the attack and gave me a great pass. I accepted 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 which position I would shoot from. I have never had this before. I felt I would score a goal. I think this will not be my first, but not the last goal in the team of my native club," – the midfielder of "Gabala" completed his thought.
