"There's absolutely no need for commentary here. Everyone saw that the ball hit the hand."
This was stated by "Qarabağ" goalkeeper Fabian Buntić Bizon in an interview with qol.az after the return match against "Sabah" (1:2) in the semi-final stage of the Azerbaijan Cup.
We present the interview.
- What can you say about the game?
- We started the match well. However, the situation changed after the red card. Of course, the opponent is strong and it was difficult to fight with 10 people in such a situation. Nevertheless, the team did its best. We fought well. We also took the lead in the score. Unfortunately, we couldn't maintain the winning score.
- What prevented you from maintaining the necessary result?
- Of course, the opponent attacked with great force. Overall, we weren't defending badly. It's just that the opponent's first goal was a bit unlucky for us.
- What are your thoughts on the controversial penalty episode?
- There's absolutely no need for commentary here. Everyone saw that the ball hit the hand. It was a clear penalty.
- You came on after Mateusz Koxalski received a red card. Were you ready for this change in general?
- No one wants to face such a situation. It wasn't pleasant to be left with one player less. But I was ready. In general, you should always be ready. Sometimes such unexpected events happen.
- Did your lack of game experience show on the field?
- It would be a lie to say that everything was ideal. I didn't feel uncomfortable. It's just that no matter how much you do your best, the lack of game practice creates difficulties at certain moments.
- The scandal after the match...
- Everything was obvious. The referee's mistakes ultimately lead to such situations.
