"Our players fought until the very end".
Idman.biz reports that this was stated by Qurban Gurbanov, the head coach of "Qarabagh", after the first match of the third qualifying round of the Champions League.
The experienced specialist commented on the 1:0 victory in the away match against "Shkendija": "I thank our players, they fought until the very end. In such matches, it is very important not to lose focus until the end. Our players managed to play for the result, I congratulate them. I also want to say good things about the opponent. They won both matches in the previous stage. With their performance today, they proved that they had a well-deserved victory over a very strong team in both matches. They also created a lot of tension for us. Returning from an away game against such an opponent with a victory is a great advantage. But we need to be more careful and serious in Baku. Because we have a team in front of us that doesn't like to lose."
Gurban Gurbanov said that the fans created a great atmosphere in the stadium: "The beauty of football is the fans, it's this kind of atmosphere. The presence of so many fans in such a good stadium made the match even more beautiful. This atmosphere also gave additional motivation to the "Shkendija" team. I thank both the local fans and the opposing team for the wonderful atmosphere and the entertaining game."
It should be noted that the return match between the teams will be held in Baku on August 12.
