Gabala defeated Araz-Nakhchivan 2:1 in the XIII round of the Premier League. With this, the "red-blacks" won their second victory in the championship.
Gabala's football player Adriel Ba Loua, who scored the team's winning goal, commented on the match.
"We had a very good meeting with the president of the club the day before the game. It's a great feeling to see support in such difficult times. We had our second victory, but we could have won more. We play well, but we lose because of small, individual mistakes. We played bravely and decisively in the match with Araz-Nakhchivan. This match had all the elements we need for the future," he said in a statement to futbolpress.az.
The winger said this about scoring the winning goal:
"What is important is that the team gets good results. It doesn't matter who scores. We really needed this victory. Now we are more hopeful and confident. I'm glad if I helped with my goal."
The African football player evaluated the team's results:
"We try to do our best on the field. We have lost even though we played well in many matches. Sometimes there is also bad luck. But we don't give up hope. We showed what we are capable of in the game with Araz-Nakhchivan. Now we have to continue."
Ba Loua, who previously played for clubs such as Lille, Caen in France, Lech in Poland, Karvina and Viktoria in the Czech Republic, also shared his impressions of the Azerbaijan championship:
"There are good players and good teams in the Premier League. Things may seem easy from the outside, but when you are inside, a different picture emerges. I don't like to differentiate leagues. Because each championship has its own uniqueness. It's football and everyone has one desire, and that is to win. It is great to have different experiences in football. I enjoy playing in Gabala."
