"The main purpose of our trip to Tashkent was related to the 102nd anniversary of the National Leader Heydar Aliyev. A friendly match was held between veteran football players of Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan, organized by AFFA and the embassy. The match, which took place in an interesting and tense struggle, ended with a score of 5:5."
Idman.biz reports that this was stated by Arif Asadov in his statement to futbolinfo.az.
Asadov also met with Mirjalal Gasimov, with whom he played together for a long time, during his trip: "Taking the opportunity, I met with Mirjalal Gasimov, with whom I played together in the USSR national teams from the age of 15 to 21. I was a guest at his house. I had known his parents since childhood. We used to visit each other's houses. His parents hadn't seen me for 20-25 years. Our meeting was very joyful for all of us and brought sincere feelings. I received their blessings."
Asadov also met with former "Neftchi" player Mustafa Bilalov during his trip: "We met with Mustafa Bilalov, who played for "Neftchi" in the Soviet era. At that time, I was about 16-17 years old. It was also very pleasant for me to meet him again."
