"We started the match well. The head referee Farid Hajiyev made some wrong decisions. I know that the opponent is a good team, but the referee was not fair at all."
This was stated by Araz-Nakhchivan player Felipe Santos while commenting on the 26th round match of the Azerbaijan Premier League, which they lost 2:4 to Sabah.
The 29-year-old midfielder linked his aggressiveness and yellow card during the game to the referee's management.
"Whenever we play against "Qarabag", "Sabah", big teams, the referees are biased towards them. In the first half, there is a foul against me, the referee says "no foul". He never apologizes, acknowledging his mistake. There's nothing to do. We will prepare for the next match," he said in his statement to sportnet.az.
The experienced player also touched upon the conflict he had with Sabah fans when he celebrated the first goal: "I saw a camera there. I dedicated my joy to my wife and son. But the fans misunderstood it."
It should be noted that Felipe Santos opened the score in the seventh minute of the match against Sabah.
