If 2 teams are fighting for the championship in the Premier League, the situation is more complicated in the First League. Yes, "Shafa" is currently leaving its main rivals a little behind. However, considering that there are still enough matches ahead, it is a bit early to talk about the championship of the team named after the late Fuad Musayev. As for the other contenders for gold medals, these are "Sporting Baku", "Sabail" and "Mingachevir". This time we decided to look at the "quartet" in question from a slightly different perspective.
Interestingly, how many penalties have those who protect justice for 90 minutes given in favor of these teams? We will not touch on the decisions, because it is possible to dress up the decisions of the judges by offering to look at the same episodes once from the sky, once by solving the system equation, and once from underground. Therefore, we focus your attention on the number of penalties scored by the aforementioned teams.
We will also arrange the order of the teams according to their current positions in the tournament table.
Let's start with "Shafa". The leader is also the leader in the number of penalties awarded in his favor. The team coached by Elgiz Keremli scored exactly 6 times from the "point". This makes up 13.95 percent of Shafa's goals in the championship.
"Sporting Baku", which is in the second place, scored 4 times from the penalty spot, which is 13.8 percent of their total goals scored.
"Sabail", which is in the third place, scored 1 penalty during the season. This is 3.85 percent of the goals scored by Adil Shukurov's team.
Finally, about "Mingachevir". The regional representative managed to score 3 times from the penalty spot, which is 10 percent of their total goals scored.
Interesting statistics, isn't it? So, is it really true that in the last 1710 minutes, opponents committed a foul in the penalty area only once in meetings against "Sabail", which is a contender for the championship? The "black-clad" comrades themselves know very well that such a situation is absolutely impossible! We are just showing this statistic for now. We show it so that the relevant agencies can draw conclusions. Shafa's statistics are also a serious signal...
The First League is a relatively neglected championship, but if those who want to bring such cases to the Premier League receive signals from UEFA tomorrow, it will not create a good image for our football.
