"We were playing against a tough opponent. We knew that we had to start the game quickly and score an early goal. That's what happened: we opened the scoring in the first minute, and after that it became easier to play".
This was stated by "Neftchi" footballer Imad Faraj after the 31st round match of the Misli Premier League, in which they won 3:0 at home against "Shamakhi".
According to the 27-year-old midfielder who scored the second goal, the score could have been even bigger.
"I think we could have won with a bigger score - 4:0 or 5:0. But the result is good," he said in a statement to sportnet.az.
The French left winger also spoke about the European Cup chances of the "white-blacks":
"Of course, Bizon will support "Sabah" in the final of the Azerbaijan Cup. Because their victory over "Zira" can help us in terms of qualifying for the Conference League. Although we are currently 3 points ahead of "Zira" in the standings, I think we need to win at least one more game to formalize this. We believe that "Sabah" will win the cup".
