We had prepared well for the game against "Sabah". The first goal was unexpected for us. We were upset about the early goal due to a momentary lapse in attention." These words were said by "Shamakhi" football player Rafael Maharramli in his statement to Sport24.az.
The captain of the "Lions" shared his thoughts on the game they lost to "Sabah" in the second round of the Misli Premier League:
"We go out for the maximum result in every match. We had a good chance of winning in the matches against both "Neftchi" and "Sabah". Unfortunately, we couldn't achieve our goal. We are preparing for the next games. Our goal is to stay in the Premier League."
Maharramli also spoke about the game against "Sumgayit", which they will face in the III round of the Premier League tomorrow: "Tomorrow a difficult game awaits us with "Sumgayit". The opponent has made a very good impression in the first two rounds, which is reflected in the league table. They had a successful start to the season. Playing against such teams is double motivation. God willing, whatever is best will happen."
It should be noted that "Shamakhi", with 1 point after two rounds, is in 9th place in the league table.
