Mahmud Gurbanov: For victory, not only struggle is needed, but also skill

It is not enough for the Azerbaijani national team to just fight to win in the qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup.

This was stated by the former coach of the team, Mahmud Gurbanov.

The expert shared his impressions of the game with Iceland: "Before the game, I was hoping for a draw. But we lost. We have played two games against Iceland in this cycle and conceded 7 goals. Unfortunately, we haven't scored a single goal. We conceded 5 of the goals under the leadership of Fernando Santos. Unlike the first game with Iceland, there was a struggle. But sometimes it is not enough to just fight to score points. Skill is also needed. The difference compared to the first game was that there was only desire," he said in his statement to Report.

It should be noted that the Azerbaijan-Iceland match, which took place yesterday, ended with a 2:0 victory for the guests.
