Rashad Sadigov, the head coach of "Zira", which drew 1:1 with "Neftchi" in the 28th round of the Misli Premier League, answered journalists' questions at the press conference after the match.
Idman.Biz reports that Sadigov said he was satisfied with his players' fight to the end.
"We started the second half well, but conceding a goal was disappointing. But after that, my team's reaction was great. We scored in the last minute, which makes me proud," the expert emphasized.
Rashad Sadigov apologized to the "Neftchi" management and staff for Brahim Konate's action in front of the opponent's bench after the equalizing goal:
"After the game, I apologized to the "Neftchi" players. I didn't see the episode myself, but they said that Konate clearly celebrated the goal next to their reserve bench. "Neftchi" is a club with whom we have very good relations. I take this opportunity to apologize for what happened."
To a question about whether the goal was offside, the head coach replied:
"I didn't see exactly what happened at that moment, I haven't looked at the goal episode yet. Maybe it's offside, I can't say anything. Now we have to focus all our attention on the next important game in three days."
