First of all, I congratulate my players. They achieved a good victory with a very good game.
Idman.biz reports that these words were said by the head coach of "Qarabağ" club Gurban Gurbanov at the press conference after the game with "Benfica".
"This was a game that we could have lost. The advantage was on the opponent's side. We were 2 goals behind at the beginning of the half. The belief in our players, not breaking down, not dropping out of the game, the first goal we scored helped us to win. This does not mean that "Benfica" was weaker than us. Benfica is a very smart team both in handling the ball and tactically. I said yesterday that my players will suffer more today, they will be more eager. We achieved a great victory. This is the first victory in the Champions League in our history, in the history of Azerbaijani football. I congratulate all Azerbaijanis and wish Benfica success," - Gurbanov said.
