The cup match with "Sabah" turned out to be an interesting, tense and high-level game for both teams. Since the winner was not determined in 90 minutes and despite the extra time being played, only post-match penalties were missing for the cup intrigue to be fully completed."
These words were said by Andrey Sinenka, the Belarusian goalkeeper of "Imishli".
The 28-year-old goalkeeper Bizon commented on the game in which they lost to "Sabah" in the 1/8 final stage of the Azerbaijan Cup.
"It was difficult for both teams, and both we and they had good opportunities to score in extra time, but they realized their opportunities, but we didn't. Both teams showed character, skill and determination to win. I congratulate "Sabah" on the victory. Does the defeat in the cup affect our performance in the championship? Personally, I don't have such an approach. The cup is not only a title, but also the shortest way for the team to participate in European cups in the summer. Unfortunately, we lost this opportunity. But we accept it as it is and now we will focus all our attention only on the championship," he said in a statement to sport24.az.
Sinenka shared his expectations for his team's match against "Sumgayit" in the XIV round of the Misli Premier League:
"Sumgayit has a magnificent stadium and a good team. The stadium was full in Sumgayit's last home game, I hope there will be such an atmosphere again and the game will be of high quality and interesting for the audience. We will try to achieve a positive result."
It should be noted that the match "Sumgayit" - "Imishli" will be held on December 9 at 19:30 at the Sumgayit city stadium named after Mehdi Huseynzade.
