The match between "Shamakhi" and "Gabala" of the seventeenth round of the national championship in football 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 Shamakhi.
Taking into account the interest of the fans, Idman.Biz took a statement from the author of that goal - "Gabala" midfielder Farid Iskandarov.
"To be honest, I did not 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 myself 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 gave me a beautiful pass, seeing that I was joining the attack. I accepted the ball well with one touch and scored a goal. The most interesting thing is that I felt that I would score a goal before this game. I even imagined from what position I would shoot. I have never had such a thing 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 Gabala midfielder concluded.
