The second round of UEFA Champions League matches continues. Sport24.az reports that our representative "Qarabag" will also be on the field today.
Gurban Gurbanov's team will host the Danish representative "Copenhagen" within "native walls." The game will start at 20:45.
"Qarabag" and "Copenhagen" are rivals for the 5th time in European Cups. For the first time, these teams faced each other in the summer of 1998 - in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup competition at that time, and the Scandinavians won both matches with a big score - 6:0 at home and 4:0 away.
In the matches of the teams in the play-off stage of the Champions League in 2017, "Qarabag" was superior. Gurban Gurbanov's team, which won 1:0 in Baku, lost away (1:2), but thanks to the away goal rule at that time, they qualified for the League stage of the Champions League for the first time in history.
